220
Why 220 volt appliances used in Pakistan but not in America?
"220 volt" appliances are very common in North America, at least in the U.S.
You have moved to China from the US How can you use your 110v devices in the 220v electricity outlets here Is there a difference between kitchen appliances and lamps?
You will have to purchase a voltage converter that converts 220 volts to 110 volts. They are fairly inexpensive. Do not try to run your 110 volt appliances on 220 volts without a converter because you will damage them and could cause a fire.
If 220 volt appliances consume half the power of 110 volt appliances why aren't refrigerators being sold in the USA with 220 volts?
True, 220 volt appliances consume less energy than 110 volt ones, but in order to use them in the US, you would need to convert them to 110 voltage. This is a less efficient use of energy. Plus, 220 volt appliances are a more risky because people can get seriously injured if they get shocked from them.
Is 250V a safe voltage for the 220-240v appliances in India?

Can you use 220 volts 60 hertz South Korean home appliances vacuum cleaner iron fans etc in Europe or in Bangladesh at 220 volts 50 hertz?
The information given in the answer to the Related Question shown below may be relevant.
Can you plug 110 115 or 120 volt appliances into a 220 or 240 volt outlet?
NO! Check the rating on the device and if it says 120V only don't ever dare plug into 240V. Depending on the appliance the results will either be lots of sparks, large flashes or other undesirable side effects.Another engineer's opinionThat answer above is for USA, Canada and other countries which use the 60Hz electrical service standard, for appliances which were designed to run only on that voltage and nothing higher.If this question is asking about using 110V to 120V appliances plugged into sockets elsewhere in the world which use the 50Hz 230 to 240V electrical service standard - such as Europe, Australia and many other countries - then the answer is not necessarily NO.Providing you use the correct type of plug adapter to suit the sockets in each country you visit, if the appliance was designed to run on 110V to 240V services, then the answer is YES.There are many personal electrical and electronic appliances which were designed to run on voltages within a wide range such as 110 to 240 volts! Just a few examples are: electric razors, hair dryers, battery chargers for digital cameras, mp3 players, etc.IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTESuch multi-voltage small appliances should never be used on the 220 to 240 volt outlets in USA or Canada or other countries which use the 60Hz electrical service standard.Such 220 to 240V outlets are intended for use only by large appliances, such as water heaters, clothes washing machines and dryers, cooking ranges, etc. Such 220 to 240V outlets are quite different in size to 110 to 120V outlets anyway and no adapters should ever be used to try to use those kinds of portable small appliances on 220 to 240V 60Hz.It may be illegal to do so in some countries or states because:correct size lower voltage 110 to 120V outlets are available to be used andif one of those small appliances gets a fault, the circuit breakers protecting a 220 to 240V branch circuit probably won't trip to break the current, which could result in enough flames to start a house fire.
Do you need to get specific transformers-converters to run a cordless telephone and halogen lights from Europe?
Yes and no. European appliances run off 220V whereas American appliances run at 110V. However, American homes are wired for both 220 and 110 volts. 220 is just only used for large loads like ovens and dryers. If you know what you are doing you can install 220V outlets and then no, you don't need voltage converters. However, this is a very big job and is not worth the expense if you only have a few European appliances. You can buy 110-220V converters for this purpose.
