Will UK electrical appliances work in US?
If you buy an adapter
Will US electric appliances work in Hong Kong?
Hong Kong uses the same electrical output/sockets as the UK so US appliances will need an adaptor.
Do European appliances work in the US?
yes they do! :) Europe uses a different voltage than the US and also has different shaped electrical plugs, so you can't just plug a European appliance into an American electrical outlet. If you can get the right kind of current, then the appliances will still work.
Will Australian electrical appliances work in US?
No, not without a converter. Australia's current is 240 volts at 50 hertz.
Is it true that all electrical appliances in US work on 110 volts?
No, appliances up to 1500 watts run on 120 v, while for larger equipment 240 v is available in most properties.

Will British electrical appliances work in US?
I was a US Government employee. Me and my family were sent to England where we resided for 7 years. We shipped all our household goods with us including all our US electrical appliances. Once there, we purchased transformers which come in various wattage ratings. The transformer actually converts the 220voltage down to the required 120 volts for US products. Anything with a motor would only be turning at 50 cycles a second vise the 60 cycles of US current. This would only affect the playing speed of say a record player (obselete now) but radios, toasters, coffee pots or anything of that nature would work fine. Hope this has helped. You need a transformer, as mentioned above. Note that for running UK appliances in the US that is not necissarily true, as the US has 120/240V service. You'd just need a special outlet for your 240V appliances. +++ Some, but by no means all, electronic appliances have 110/240V switches to allow use on either system.
How do you use UK appliances in Singapore?
You can use US appliances, but only if you get an adaptor. The island uses 3-pin UK plugs and 240v electrical appliances.
How all the devices work on 220 volt when electricity is supplied at our homes from power stations?
It isn't an accident. Each country has to select a working voltage for all its electrical appliances. When everything works on a standard voltage it simplifies the market for appliances. In your country it's 220 v, in Europe it's 230 v and in the US it's 120 v, or 240 v for high-power appliances.
Can hard wire appliances in US work in Europe?
Unlikely- European countries run on 240 volts which is about double the US standard.
