SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the requirements for powering devices that operate at 220 volts. It is established that to power a device rated for 220 volts, a power source providing that exact voltage is necessary. The conversation highlights the confusion surrounding the term "electricity," emphasizing the distinction between voltage, current, and power. Additionally, it is noted that while devices may function with slightly lower voltages, exceeding the rated voltage can damage components.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of electrical concepts such as voltage, current, and power.
  • Familiarity with AC (Alternating Current) and its applications.
  • Knowledge of device specifications and electrical ratings.
  • Basic comprehension of electrical safety and equipment operation.
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the differences between voltage, current, and power in electrical systems.
  • Learn about the implications of using devices with varying voltage ratings.
  • Explore the characteristics and applications of AC power systems.
  • Investigate safe practices for connecting devices to electrical power sources.
USEFUL FOR

Individuals seeking clarity on electrical requirements for devices, electricians, engineers, and anyone involved in electrical installations or troubleshooting.

If you have a device which is rated for use with a 220v supply, than that is the supply voltage you need.
It will probably still work with a slightly lower supply voltage, but a significantly higher voltage is likely to cause components to break down.

"Electricity" is a meaningless term. If you need 220 volts to power a device, then you must find a power source that provides 220 volts. What exactly are you trying to do?

Note that your post falls dangerously close to being substandard, so please put a bit more effort into explaining things and making your posts understandable. If English isn't your first language then you may want to get someone to help you.

Yes this certainly is a very vague question. I could say that about 24 nine volt batteries such as used in a smoke detector will get you pretty close to 220. It satisfied the question yet is quite likely impractical for anything useful.

i just try to clear my confusion. that's why i asked it. thanks for your answer.
And English is not my first language . But I can write and speak English well . thanks again

What we have here is a failure to communicate. It centers around the term 'electricity'

electricity

noun elec·tric·i·ty \i-ˌlek-ˈtri-sə-tē, ē-ˌ, -ˈtris-tē\
Popularity: Top 20% of words ( << i guess a lot of people look up its meaning! - jh)
Simple Definition of electricity
  • : a form of energy that is carried through wires and is used to operate machines, lights, etc.
  • : electric current or power

Does your confusion relate to energy, power, current or voltage ?

oh. Thanks Dave.
I thought his posts might be a bit dismissive, but I'm slow to catch on.

Thanks !

Most members who have been banned are still able to login and read the forums, and send and receive some PMs, they just cannot post.

Apparently.

AC? And how long does he want to run his device for?
