I guess it will, but it depends on the type of device you use. An electric bulb may glow with reduced intensity at the same time, a regulated psu based device may balance the voltage by drawing required amount of current to bring it to 240V inside the psu unit of that device. It again depends upon the device. Some devices use some range of input operating voltages like 220V ~ 240V.I guess I'm right

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.
Would saudi 220v 60hz appliance work on malaysia 240v 50hz?
yes.
Can 120V appliance work with 220V?
120V appliance will not work on 220V. Use an instrument transformer or voltage regulator to adjust the high voltage to the desired level.
250 volt appliance work in 220 volt world zone?
normally, appliance are built in 110v or 220v, applied in 100-140v and 200-240v. if your 250v appliance is common home appliance equipment, then 220volt is ok, i think. otherwise, you should ask the vendor for special power supply.
Will 220v 60hz work on 240v 60hz whitout any problem?
Most appliciances that are built for use with 220V would normally be fine with 240V. In most cases, they are also labeled 220-240V. Depending on how critical the application is, you should probably check with the manufacturer.
Can you convert an existing 120V plug on an appliance to a 240V plug not speaking of a converter but actually changing the plug so there are no long term effects on the appliance?
If I understand your question, Can you run a 110 appliance off of a 220 volt outlet? You could by only using one leg of the 220. You may also consider changing the outlet. Put in a regular 110 outlet and capping off one leg of the 220 in the wall box. You still have a neutral and a ground to work with. I read this as the questioner doesn't want to modify the outlet. Check the voltage ratings on the device. Many electronic devices nowadays can havdle 120V or 240V as it is cheaper to manufacture one powersupply and sell it everywhere. If your device is rated for 240V, you can put a 240V plug on it. If it only says 120V, no dice. 240V will burn it up.
If you have a 220V tanning bed will it work with a 240V outlet?
Yes, it will work just fine. In the United States the voltage coming into homes and businesses is 240 volts but the term 220 volts is commonly used but they essentially mean the same thing.
Will 240v heater work with 220v output?
It should work fine, you'll just get a less power dissipated (and therefore heat) than you're expecting.
Will a 240 volt appliance work with 200 volt supply?
Yes in most cases. If you live in the US and your appliance was made to work in the US and you have Two Hot conductors, red and black and your appliance says its rated for 220 V your ready to roll. If you live in the US and your appliance was made to work elsewhere in the world with the exception for Canada then its very doubtful. The US uses Split-Phase 240V so you can get 120V Circuits also and most of the rest of the world uses 240V Single Phase right to their regular receptacles. 220V is an archaic term and is meant to be used in the 220V-250V range
If you put a 60W 120V bulb in a 120V lamp that has a transformer for 240V and plug it into a 240V outlet will it work or blow the circuitry?
Off hand no but your explanations are not clear as to who is doing what to whom,,
Can you plug a 115V appliance into a 120V outlet?
For residential service 110V, 115V, 117V, 120V, and 125V are all functionally the same. Electric companies have been slowly increasing the line voltage over the last 100 years to cope with increased loads. That is where these different voltages come from. The tolerance is generally +/-10%. That's +/- 11.5 volts in this case. So, a 115VAC appliance will run between 103.5 and 126.5VAC. The short answer is yes. 110V appliances can work with up to 130V without being burnt, additionally, 220V appliances can work with up to 240V without being burnt.
Can the Mac book Pro operate on English 220V electricity?
There will be no problems as the Mac laptops are designed to work internationally with a line voltage ranging from 100V to 240V.
