I live in an older building made in the 1950ish and I don't know the voltage/watts from the outlet. Is it safe?

Hi Danell,As long as you are in North America this model will work for you!Regards,Rick JCustomer serviceDeal republic

That wouldn't be a good idea because you will be removing a built-in protection against electrocution/short circuits and I'm sure it's against the building code. I would find another outlet to replace.

I am no expert; but, I think that unless you had to have the 250v for some specific reason, it would be ok. Check with an electrician. I just use mine to power the panel in the event of an emergency, through a manual lock-out switch. I keep it in the original box, in the garage so that it is not affected so much by weather if it were to be left outdoors.

not such of my voltages , I just order if for my coat closet , I ordered one before for the room in my basement were the heating furnace is, and I haveno problems with them, hope this helps.

If the chandelier uses 120-volt wall power, this wire is too thin to be safe. Look up what's recommended for work at wall voltages. If you're unsure, ask an electrician. Your local building code may also have requirements relating to built-in light fixtures.

Doubtful...its 110... if you know an electrician they can split off220 to make 110

Hi Scott, It would be a receptacle like the one you would use for a welder or an electric range or dryer. If you are still unsure, wait until the unit arrives to get a better understanding of what you need. Also, you can search for the download pdf files of the Wattstation to ge a better understanding of what you need. I hope I was able to help you on this.Good Luck.

Not being 'smart' but best to call an electrician to be sure. I had a whole house power meter which strapped onto the outdoor meter. It would give a good indication of what my average wattage was under a variety of conditions - A/C active (3kW), blower for furnace (500W), electric dryer (4.5kW), ... but what it didn't measure was the surge current like when a motor starts (which is typically 2x of the standing wattage). Exactly what your surge current requirements are depends on what devices you have installed, and when they will startup. If you can stagger when devices start up you can reduce the surge current requirement. You can also manually throttle up the generator as there is a lag between when a motor starts and the motor spinning up to match load (which results in voltage droop). And lastly you have to figure out how to wire it into your house ... maybe you only want a few circuits light up instead of the whole house (like your 500W plasma TV for example).

Probably not. Some washers and especially dryers usually take 220 instead of 110. For just a washing machine you might be able to use this, but they are not prone to problems from voltage fluctuations, so not sure it is needed either.

No. there is nothing in the documentation to indicate it is. I think you would need an outlet converter.

That is not something I can answer. Ours is plugged into a 110 outlet and works fine.

Sure. If you live in an area where the voltage isn't reliable it's best to put a protective device on your outlet.

Those are the old current ratings. Now, it is 120/240, and this is a 120 volt product (normal household current). It does call for its own 20 amp breaker protected circuit, but I did not install one. I ran it on the same circuit which has handled two bathrooms and their exhaust fans for 50+ years. I have had no problem with tripped breakers when using my heater function, exhaust function, light and other lights on that circuit simultaneously. If you go that route but start tripping the breaker on the circuit, you will have to run a new line with a dedicated breaker.

Power is commonly expressed in amps or watts but never in volts. You are asking about voltage and it is 110-120 maximum for the device you showed... All stuff like this for 224-240 volts will have a special/different plug configuration that will not allow it to plug into this splinter device or into a 110-220 volt outlet either. This thing you are asking about is most often used by people who wish to plug in more cords or devices than a single outlet will allow. This device will allow three cords or devices to be plugged in at the same time. Just don't exceed the power rating of your circuit breaker, fuse or extension cord or you will either pop the circuit breaker, blow the fuse or start a fire by melting the insulation off your extension cord if its conductors [wire size] is too small to carry the load but not enough to trip your circuit breaker or blow your fuse! I do not mean to insult you but I can't believe you even asked this question so do not get hurt or burn down your house... it can be dangerous. Still, I am glad to see you had the brains to ask about this before doing something you might be sorry about. Often the store clerk can give you help like this as long as you stick to the guy or gal in the electrical department at LOWES. I hope this helps you, BuzGuy

You would have to ask an electrician that question. I just plugged mine in.

of course not, not safely. the internal wiring andsockets are rated for 110

I have no idea about voltage. But I use the regular wall socket. Nothing extra ordinary
