No, get a matching transformer and check the polarity and the milliamps.

I have my 120 volt appliance and in Philippines we have 240 volt. Can a 110 - 250 volt adapter be used?
An adapter can be used. Make sure that the adapter that you use is of a capacity that it can produce the amperage that your appliance needs. An adapter too small will burn itself open and will be of no use to anyone. Remember; Watts = Amps x Volts.
What determines whether a 100-W light bulb costs more to use than a 1200-W hair dryer costs to use?
The electric power used by an appliance is the rate at which the appliance converts electrical energy to other forms of energy. The electrical energy used by an appliance depends on the power of the appliance and the length of the time it is used.
Is there an adapter that can be used on 230 volt 30 amp air conditioner appliance to make it fit a 220 volt 20 amp socket safely?
My electrician says no, has to be some rewiring.
What does the electrical power dissipated in an appliance depend on?
The amount of power required to run an electric appliance depends on how many kilowatts of power it uses. The cost to run the appliance depends on how much your company charges per kilowatt. <<>> The amount of power depends on how much power it was designed to take. Some appliances are designed to take as little as possible, like radios, TVs and computers. Others are designed to turn electric power into another form of power, like mechanical power (motors) or heat power (space heating). These tend to use more power. The amount of energy paid for via the bill depends on the sum of the energy used by all the appliances. For each appliance it's the power drawn multiplied by the time it was used.
What formula do you use to determine the amount of energy used by an appliance?
Power use of an electrical appliance is calculated by finding its rating in watts. The formula is W = I x E. Watts = Amps x Volts. <<>> Power is a general term. If you want to know how much you pay to power a certain appliance you need to figure out the amperage of the appliance, (usually located on the appliance itself or in the instructions). Power companies use kilowatt hours to charge you for electricity, to figure out how many kilowatt hours your appliance uses you would need to multiply the amperage your appliance uses by .115 and that would give you the kilowatts it is using. Then you would multiply that by how many hours you use said appliance and then multiply by your cost per kilowatt hour, (found on your electric bill).

Can you use a 9V 600mA adapter on a 9V 400ma scanner?
You can use any 9v adapter as long as the output amperage is rated higher than the amperage rating of your appliance so yes a 600ma adapter can be used to power a 500ma or 400ma appliance
Can a 9 volt adaptor be used on a appliance that calls for 9volt battery or 12volt adaptor?
No. The person who designed your appliance had a 12v adapter, so when he designed the adapter connector he put a resistor in it to drop the voltage to 9v.
Can an iPod nano power adapter be used for a kindle?
Yes, the power adapter is compatible with the Kindle
Can you use UK appliances in the us?
Not unless the appliance is rated to be used with the two different power supplies. The US uses 120v, 60 Hz if it plugs into a receptacle, and possibly 240v, 60Hz if it is hard wired. The UK uses 240v, 50Hz whether it plugs in or is hard wired. These two power systems are NOT compatible. You may use a US appliance in the UK, and vice versa, only if the appliance is dual rated, i.e. the appliance says 120v/60Hz AND 240v/50Hz on the nameplate. If the appliance only specifies one power supply, it can only be used on that power supply. If this is the case, you may be able to use a travel adapter to operate the appliance.
Where can you find a 240 to 110v 60 cycle adapter that can be used with a 10 watt appliance?
your moms house lawl
What would happen if you used a 19V 3.16Amp power adapter on something that called for a 12V 3Amp power adapter power supply?
You would overload and damage the device and/or the adapter.
What is the use of a power adapter?
A power adapter (sometimes also referred to as a power supply) is used to supply power to a range of devices. The power is taking from the mains electricity and transferred using the adapter to the device, such as a laptop.
Can you use ac dc adapter of 12 volts and 2 amps for an appliance rated for 7.5 volts and 1.8 amps?
To use an adapter of this sort, its rated voltage must match the rated voltage of the appliance, and its rated current must exceed that of the appliance. So, in your example, the rated voltage is too high to be used with your appliance.
Does a cassette adapter us your car battery?
If a cassette adapter requires power, it'll have a power plug, but even then, unless it is being used, should not be drawing power.
