Yes.
Absolutely not. In the U.S. all power is 120v on a single line (one hot, one neutral, one ground) overseas all power is 230v on a single line. Will fry your unit. You can however by a step down or up transformer fairly cheaply at radio shack.
In the supply industry it refers to circuits of below 1000 volts. Common voltages used are 120v, 208v, 230v, 240v, 277v, 400v, 415v, 480v.
He dies.
In most applications 200v is easier to get for a supply voltage than 380v.
No, different voltages, we have 230v supply, US 120v. There would be a big bang and lots of smoke, I did it at work once!
I imagine it depends where you live... 120v in USA, and 230v in UK & spain.
In North America, Japan and some of northern South America, standard power supply is within 10% of 120V at 60Hz in Europe, Australia, most of South America, Africa and Asia, and New Zealand it's 230V at 50 Hz.
No, you cannot use an electric appliance rated for 120V in Europe without a voltage converter, as European electrical systems typically use 230V. Plugging a 120V appliance directly into a 230V outlet can damage the appliance or create a fire hazard. However, appliances rated for dual voltage (120V/240V) can be used in Europe with the proper plug adapter. Always check the appliance's rating before use.
Yes, to use a 120V device from the US in the UK, you'll need a step-down transformer or converter that reduces the UK’s 230V supply to 120V. Additionally, check if the device's plug type is compatible with UK outlets; you may also need a plug adapter. Always ensure the wattage of the converter exceeds the device’s power requirements to prevent damage.
To charge an American drill in the UK, you need to check the voltage and plug type. Most American drills operate on 120V, while the UK uses 230V. If the drill's charger supports dual voltage (typically labeled 100-240V), you can simply use a UK plug adapter. If not, you will need a step-down transformer to safely convert the voltage from 230V to 120V.
To use 230V equipment in the US, you will need a step-down voltage converter to convert the standard US voltage of 120V to the required 230V. Make sure to check the wattage and compatibility of the converter with your equipment to avoid any damage. Additionally, ensure that the equipment is compatible with the US electrical system and plug type.
