Appliances usually run on what volt circuits?
120 volts
Can 240 volt appliances from NZ run on 240 Volts in the US?
yes 240volts is 240 volts
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.
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.

Can you run 220 volt appliances off a 380 volt supply?
you could use a step down transformer if you had no other option. but the best thing to do is run a 220 feed directly from the fuse panel Step down transformers get very hot and do not last forever
Do all electric ovens cooktops ranges and clothes dryers operate on 208v as well as 240v?
No, use only the voltage for the appliance that your utility system is supplying to your residence. If your system is 208 volts use 208 volt appliances. Likewise if the utility system is 240 volts use only 240 volt appliances. 208 appliances on 240 will overheat the appliances and 240 appliances on 208 will not produce the wattages that the manufacturer recommends for cooking and drying.
Does an 180 volt appliance require 240 volt supply?
No, it requires a 180 Volt supply. Most appliances work +/- 10%, in this case 162 Volts to 198 Volts. I would question whether your appliance is really 180 Volt. No country uses this as domestic supply, it is usually 110V or 220-240V.
Why is it better for some appliances to work from batteries?
