It is like asking which is heavier, 1000 pounds of feathers or 1000 pounds of steel.
Both are the same weight, and 1000 watts is the same amount of power at 120 volts as 220 or 240 volts.
However, the higher voltages of 220 or 240 volts are more efficient at transmitting electrical power, as a smaller percentage of the power is wasted over the resistance of the power lines for an equal amount of amperage delivered.

Can you use 120V lamps in Europe by just putting in a 240V bulb and a European adapter on the plug?
If all the components are rated to 220V, yes. Keep in mind that if the appliance was designed for 110V it may arc if 220 is run through it. If you don't know the device can handle 220V, don't run it at 220V. Chances are it was manufactured cleaply and cannot handle the extra voltage.
Can you convert 120v household into 220v 3 phase for a machine?
You can buy a converter.
How do you change over so you can plug a 120V RV plug into a 240V single-phase twist-lock receptacle?
Is the 220V plug 220V only or 110/220V? (The former will have 3 prongs and the former will have 4) If your case is the latter just use the ground, neutral, and one of the hots. This will give you 120V single phase. If the case is the former you can't get 110V off that plug.
How many amps does a 400watt light draw from 220v?
The formula you are looking for is I = W/E.
What is 220 volt with one hot leg only?
Sorry, but it is impossible to get 220v (240) from one leg, it has to be two legs as each leg is 120v.
What is cheaper to operate 120v motor or 220v same horsepower?
220 volt will use less energy.

Can you use 220v or 120v appliances in the UK?
UK is 220v
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.
How do you get 120v from 220v socket?
You don't, at least, not legally.
How long will you get from a 12v battery converter to 220v battery is 85ah and the conversion is to 1000w?
85 amp/h you can only use about 60% of that so thats 51 amp/h. 1000w 220v uses 4.6 amps so take 51/4.6 and u can run for about 10 hours
Will a 220v 50hz inverter work on 120v 60hz?
No, 120 v is not enough.
Does Brazil runs at 120v or 220v?
Brazil has a nominal voltage of 220/380V.
Can you convert 120v household into 220v 3 phase for a machine?
