My husband is an electrician and he said there is no reason why you cannot plug a 240v into 220v because they have a tolerance so your 240 v appliance will still run on 220v of power

Does a 6 amp 240 volt appliance hook up to 110?
No, a 240 volt device runs on 240, and a 120 volt device runs on 120. Attempting to run a device on incompatible voltage results in damage.
How many twos are in 240?
There are 240/2 = 120 of them
What is a 120-240 appliance?
When you see the numbers 120/240 on a device in North America it tells you one of two things. One that the device can be operated from either voltage source 120 volts or 240 volts. This is usually done by a selector switch used to select the correct voltage. The other description is that the device required a dual voltage supply. In North America this would be a three wire single phase supply voltage.
What does 240 and 120 equal?
240+120=360.
What is the LCM of 120 and 48?
The LCM is 240.
Would 110-240 volts 50-60 Hz work on 120 volts?
If that is the information that is stated on the nameplate of the device then yes it will operate on 120 volts.
Can you put a 120 v receptacle on a 240 v circuit breaker?
No, the electrical insulation rating of a 15 amp duplex receptacle is only rated at 130 volts. The 15 amp 240 volt receptacle is rated at 250 volts. The 240 volt receptacle also has a tandem pin configuration instead of the parallel configuration of the 120 volt device. The different pin configuration is so that a 120 volt electrical device can not be plugged into a 240 voltage receptacle.
How do you split 240 to 120?
divide 240 by 2 and.. voila.. you get 120!
What is the lowest common multiple of 20 and 120?
80 X 3= 240 120X2=240 80, 160, 240 120, 240 so it's 240
What is the GCF 120 240 and 300?
The GCF of 120, 240, and 300 is 60.
What happens when you screw a bulb rated for 240 v into a 120 v lamp?

What is 75 of 50 of 240?
