Another key factor is cost-efficiency. Although more economical rather than electrical, it can help shore up the argument for a volt AC unit. A volt AC unit requires a more thicker wire than a volt AC unit.
Reason being that both require the same amount of electrical charge to carry out a cooling effect. So for an AC unit of volts to be able to absorb the intensity of such flow of current through it, it requires a thicker wire to avoid overheating.
Thinner wires are more economically friendly than thicker wires. A air conditioner plug is usually bigger and has a varieties colors ranging from off-white, black to dark brown, and most times, round in shape. Some plugs have four slots, while some have 3. The four slot plugs usually have a ground wire, and one or two of the slots is horizontally designed while some could be at an angle. The volt outlet usually has one hot terminal, and the hot terminal is mostly black in color.
While outlets are mostly installed in pairs. A window air conditioner requires at least 12 gauge 20 amps wire size if you are to work a new line. The most apparent advantage of volts over volts is that it is more easier and cheaper to run plus lesser energy is lost while heat is generated in the cables. Yes, although transmit power at a more cheaper rate but it is more hazardous because has a higher voltage, the flow of current is always high, so it has more propensity to electrocute.
Yes, it will work because both pieces of equipment require almost the same amount of power. However, I strongly recommend against using a volt appliance on a volt outlet because it can damage your appliance, and in the most extreme case, it could cause an inferno.
Japan actually uses volts of the air conditioner. All information is based on personal opinions. However, after a little probing, the most popular opinion argues that it is because that was the first standard set by the united states in the early s when electricity was introduced to American homes.

The AC adaptor switches automatically to whichever voltage is used. No, the battery won't charge twice as fast. The voltage may double, but the current will halve. Power resulting is the same.

Jan 17, PM in response to carl wolf In response to carl wolf Only if it's single phase. Three-phase puts the the chassis at ground. The difference is slight, though. Most of the time, a v and v air conditioner will cost about the same to use. They draw the same power and power companies charge by the watt-hour. Like we said earlier, v air conditioners may be slightly more efficient because less energy is lost to radiated heat, but the difference will be very slight.
Generally speaking, v and v air conditioners come in the same sizes and can be used in the same size rooms. Larger home and industrial AC units will normally be volts as these are more reliable at larger sizes, but smaller residential homes can use either.
As far as physical machine size, v units usually are larger and heavier. Generally speaking, v models reach higher BTUs and so can be used in larger spaces. Unless you have an extremely large house, though, it likely will not matter for your residence.
This figure gives you a rough estimate of how many BTUs your air conditioner should have. If the air conditioner is installed properly, both v and v machines are safe. The only difference is that a v machine is more likely to generate a shock due to the higher electrical potential. So if you are working on a v unit, make sure it is completely disconnected from all electrical sources before working on it.
Most US homes use v outlets. So if you have a v appliance, you may not have the right outlet for it. But there are ways to convert a v outlet to a v outlet by modifying the internal circuitry. You can also buy a dedicated v to v converter and install it in your electrical circuit box. Dallas County: Ellis County: Need Service?
