Appliance Voltages and Configurations : 240v Appliances
240v Appliances In the United States & the Bahamas, most 240 volt appliances adhere to a common arrangement in they way they power loads and controls. 240 volts is advantageous for electric heating, because as you read previously, elements can dissipate four times the heat as with 120 volts. Below shows the typical way that…
Power (Wattage)
Power is the rate of work that is being performed in a certain amount of time. That work is based on transferring energy to a load (like a heating element or motor). The more energy that is transferred to (or used by) a load per second, the higher the power (in watts) of that transfer…
