Best Answer

No, you will need to obtain an adapter to change the 120 volts to 230 volts. The adapter must be sized to the load wattage of the 230 volt appliance. To find the load wattage multiply the amperage times the voltage of the appliance. Once this is assessed, the size of the adapter or transformer will be of equal or greater value than that of the connected appliance. The adapter will be rated in VA or KVA depending on the needed load amperage.
