It means that the 240 volts is connected directly to the device rather than being connected through an outlet. In some cases an electric box may be wired between the power supply and device and could contain fuses, breakers or a disconnect of some type. For example if you have an outside air conditioner there should be a disconnect box on a wall near the unit. The unit would still be considered to be hard-wired.

Does a 6 amp 240 volt appliance hook up to 110?
No, a 240 volt device runs on 240, and a 120 volt device runs on 120. Attempting to run a device on incompatible voltage results in damage.
How do you add a 240 volt receptacle to 100 amp supply?
The 240 volt receptacle has to have an amperage rating. It is this rating that governs the wire size and breaker size to feed the circuit. The new two pole breaker will be inserted in the 100 amp distribution if space is available and connected to the new wiring that terminates at the new receptacle.

What happens when 110 volt airbrush compresor TC 196 is plugged into a 240 volt source?
First, someone would have changed the plug before that would be possible. 240 Volt receptacles do not accept 120 Volt plugs. Second, IF someone changed the plug on the compressor, then plugged it in using both legs of the 240 Volt circuit, the compressor motor would self destruct instantly; internal wiring would burn and you would smell the burning insulation.

Can you convert 110 volt to 240 volt?
Yes
Can you replace 240 volt service with two 110 volt service?
Generally, yes. Most US home services are 220 volt (240, 220 are `nominal' names) which are split into two 120 volt legs. You can find wiring information ont he internet, but generally, the 220 volt systems have a 120 volt leg, a common ground and then another 120 volt leg. Added together, they're 220 volt but by splitting them, you'll end up with two 120 volt legs. If you're not sure about how to wire them up, contact a qualified electrician to help you. House wiring can be very dangerous if you don't know what you're doing as well as lethal. When in doubt, don't.
