Can you use 120V lamps in Europe by just putting in a 240V bulb and a European adapter on the plug?
No, it is not safe to operate a 120V lamp with a 240V bulb in Europe simply by using a plug adapter. The lamp is designed to work at a specific voltage, and using a higher voltage bulb can overload the lamp, potentially causing it to overheat or malfunction. It is important to use the correct voltage lamp for the specific electrical system in which it will be used.

Can you convert 120v household into 220v 3 phase for a machine?
No, you cannot directly convert a 120V household outlet to supply 220V 3-phase power for a machine. You would need a transformer to step up the voltage and a suitable 3-phase power source to provide the required power for the machine. It is recommended to consult with a licensed electrician to ensure proper installation and safety compliance.
Why can't i connect a 220v appliance directly to a 110v power source?
Connecting a 220V appliance to a 110V power source can damage the appliance and potentially cause a fire. The appliance is designed to run on 220V input, so using a lower voltage can overload its components. It's important to use the correct voltage to ensure safe and proper operation.

How can you convert US 120V or 240V circuit into a single phase 240V circuit to use on a European appliance?
The voltage isn't a problem, you can run 220 from your house and use that to run a European appliance, the problem is whether the appliance is dependant on line HZ. European is 50HZ and US is 60HZ. If the appliance specifies 220/50HZ, it will probably give you trouble here. If it says 220V/50 or 60HZ
