The following is an educated guess.
240 Volts is 240 Volts.
Unless the equipment inherently depends on some aspect of the frequency for operation [50 hertz instead of 60 hertz], it should work if you simply change the plug.

Wiring circuit for 240V welder with 3 prong plug pulling 6-3 wire do you need to replace welder cable with a 4 lead cable-plug or can you avoid the white lead to wire a 3 prong outlet red-black-green?
It depends on the welder. If it doesn't need 120V you can just put a wire nut on the neutral and wire a 240V plug. If it needs 120/240V you need the 4 prong plug. IF YOU ARE NOT ALREADY SURE YOU CAN DO THIS JOBSAFELY AND COMPETENTLYREFER THIS WORK TO QUALIFIED PROFESSIONALS.If you do this work yourself, always turn off the powerat the breaker box/fuse panel BEFORE you attempt to do any work ANDalways use an electrician's test meter having metal-tipped probes(not a simple proximity voltage indicator)to insure the circuit is, in fact, de-energized.
Can 230V appliance plug into a 230v outlet?
Yes, it can be and there is no problem at all Because most of the electrical appliances are made to work on 220v - 240v so it can also be plugged into a 240v outlet.
Which is the ground wire and which carries 120V on an old 240V welder that needs a new plug at the end of the power cord if the wire colors under the outer insulation are white green and black?
If you only have 3 wires you don't have the fourth wire for 120V. Since this is a 240V only device it doesn't need it. Black and white are your hots and green is ground.As always, if you are in doubt about what to do, the best advice anyone should give you is to call a licensed electrician to advise what work is needed.Before you do any work yourself,on electrical circuits, equipment or appliances,always use a test meter to ensure the circuit is, in fact, de-energized.IF YOU ARE NOT ALREADY SURE YOU CAN DO THIS JOBSAFELY AND COMPETENTLYREFER THIS WORK TO QUALIFIED PROFESSIONALS.
How do you convert a 120V receptacle to a 240V receptacle for a European stereo system that uses 230V if the Stereo has no toggle switch to 110V like some units on the market?
You can't "convert" a 120V receptacle into a 240V receptacle.A proper new 240V branch circuit complete with correctly sized circuit breakers, wiring and socket outlet is required.For more information see the Related Question shown below.As always, if you are in doubt about what to do, the best advice anyone should give you is to call a licensed electrician to advise what work is needed.Before you do any work yourself,on electrical circuits, equipment or appliances,always use a test meter to ensure the circuit is, in fact, de-energized.IF YOU ARE NOT ALREADY SURE YOU CAN DO THIS JOBSAFELY AND COMPETENTLYREFER THIS WORK TO QUALIFIED PROFESSIONALS.

It should work fine, you'll just get a less power dissipated (and therefore heat) than you're expecting.

I have tried this before but the only way to do it is to rewire it so not only will it work were you live but also in a different region. If you have no idea how to rewire something, then give it to a place that sells or fixes your console. Just tell them you want it to work in this region.
