Yes. This is the same standard. The terms 208 and 220 mean the same thing, much like household voltage is sometimes called 110 or 120.

How can you run 277 volt lamp on 220 volt?
If it is an incandescent lamp, then it will run on 240volts, but not at full wattage. If it is an HID type that has a ballast, no, it will not.
What happens when a 2A 220 volt appliance is plugged into a 110 volt?
Not much of anything. The 220 volt appliance needs just that ... 220 volts in order to run. If it runs at all, it certainly would not be running at anywhere near peak efficiency.
Can you use 240 volts for a 208 volt heater?
This is not recommended. The heater will operate at more than its given specified wattage. A 208 volt heater run off 220 volts will have an output increase by 11.87 percent. Similarly, a 220 volt heater can be run off of 208 but the wattage will be reduced by 10.61%. The calculations, using Ohms' Law, are shown below.Watts = volts x amps (W = V x I) and I = W / V so, if we take a 2000 watts heater designed to run on 208 volts, I = 2000 / 208 = 9.6 ampsResistance = volts / amps (R = V / I) so the heater's resistance is 208 / 9.6 = 21.632 ohmsAmps = volts / resistance (I = V / R) so, running on 220 volts, I = 220 / 21.632 = 10.17 ampsW = 220 x 10.17 = 2237 watts, which is an increase of 2237/2000 = 11.87%.W = V x I and I = W / V so, if we take a 2000 watts heater designed to run on 220 volts, I = 2000 / 220 = 9.09 ampsR = V / I so the heater's resistance is 220 / 9.09 = 24.2 ohmsI = V / R so, running on 208 volts, I = 208 / 24.2 = 8.595 ampsW = 208 x 8.595 = 1787.76 watts, which is a decrease of ( 2000-1787.76 ) / 2000 = 10.61%.
Will a 220 volt 50 Hertz refrigerator work on 220 volt 60 Hertz?
No because the pump motor will run too fast and the lifetime of the fridge will be severely reduced.
Can a 250V machine run on 208V?
Well. Yes actually 208 is probably 220. Etc
Can you run a 3200 watt oven on a 20 amp breaker?
a 220 volt, 3200 watt oven will draw under 15 amps, so yes a 2o amp breaker will work.
How do you add 240v service for electric oven to replace a gas oven?
An electric oven must be on a dedicated circuit. Unless you already have a 220 Volt circuit available, you will have to run a wire from the fuse panel to the stove. Call a licensed electrician.
Will you save buying a 220 volt ac than a 110?
Yes, in the long run. The 220 volt unit will use less power.
Can you run 220 volt motor compressor a 380 volt supply using power inverter?
No 380 volts is too wide a spread to use a 220 volt motor on.
Can I run a 220 volt 50 hz motor with 220 volt 60 hz supply?
Yes. It will work OK but run about 20% faster than the name plate indicates.
How do you change a 3 phase 440 volt motor to a 3 phase 220 volt motor?
You can not change it. 440 volt is by design. However you run it with 220 single phase supply, but it would run far lower power.
How can you run 277 volt lamp on 220 volt?
If it is an incandescent lamp, then it will run on 240volts, but not at full wattage. If it is an HID type that has a ballast, no, it will not.
Can a 220 volt item be converted to run on a vehicle?
Yes, a 220 volt item can be converted to run on a vehicle or the vehicle can be made to produce 220 volts. Still, it might be less expensive simply to get something made for the vehicle that can do the same thing.
What happens when a 2A 220 volt appliance is plugged into a 110 volt?
Not much of anything. The 220 volt appliance needs just that ... 220 volts in order to run. If it runs at all, it certainly would not be running at anywhere near peak efficiency.
