What else can I help you with?
Would you be able to use US 120 volt lights on UK 230 volt supply?
no
What does 100 to 240 V mean for use in the UK?
If "100 to 240 V" is stated on the rating plate of a small electrical appliance, such as an electric razor or a plug-in power supply for something else, that means it is designed to operate on any voltage between 100 Volts and 240 volts. * So the appliance will work if it is plugged into a 120 Volt household AC power supply in the US, Canada or elsewhere in the world which uses a similar supply and * it will also work on a 230 Volt household AC power supply in the UK or any other country in Europe or elsewhere in the world which uses a similar supply.
Can you use 230 volt appliance in a 240 volt plug socket?
Yes, you can typically use a 230V appliance in a 240V plug socket without any issues. The slight voltage difference is unlikely to cause damage to the appliance. However, if the appliance is sensitive, it's always best to refer to the manufacturer's guidelines or use a voltage converter for added safety.
What is my 240 v supply at home ac or dc?
The household supply in the UK is 240 V and is AC (alternate current).
Can you use your UK specification 240 volt Samsung Camcorder Mains adapter whilst traveling in the US?
The US uses 110volts, so you would need a transformer!
Is it safe to plug in a 240 volt battery recharger into a 240 volt UK converter into 220 volt system?
Almost certainly the device will work. UK voltage is now 230 as standard and the rest of Europe is also moving to the new harmonised voltage. If the charger is to be used in Europe, you will likely be using exactly the same voltage. If the power supply is actually 220V, then the charge may take a little longer than you would expect, but this depends entirely on the way the charger works and the way the voltage is converted to the charging circuit
Can a 230 volt spa system operate from a 240 volt connection?
yes the nominal voltage in the UK is 230v but can fluctuate between 220v and 250v so yes
How do you convert your 110 volt neon sign to run off 240 volt UK socket?
What you will need is a 240 to 120 step down transformer. An adapter might work but it depends on what the current draw of the neon sign is at 120 volts.
Is my home 240 v ac?
The household supply in the UK is 240 V and is AC (alternate current).
Do they make a inline switch to cut power on a 240 circuit?
In North America, the use of a two pole single throw switch is used for this purpose. The reason that a two pole switch is used instead of a single pole switch is that code requires that both legs to the 240 volt load has to be broken so as to isolate the load completely from the supply voltage. If a single pole switch was used in this situation one leg of the 240 volt supply would still be "hot" to ground. Someone that is inexperienced with the system could get a nasty shock by just using the switch to isolate the circuit when working on it instead of using the supply breaker to isolate the circuit. In the UK it is a different scenario as the load across the 240 supply returns to a grounded neutral. In this case just a single pole single throw switch will isolate the circuit.
Can you use a 240 Volt bulb in a 250 Volt lamp?
Yes if the bulb is an incandescent type of bulb.Further InformationThe voltage printed on a lamp is its nominal, or named, value. For example, the nominal voltage of the UK's supply (since January 1995) is 230 V. But this does not mean that the actual voltage is necessarily 230 V, as it does vary. In fact, it is allowed to vary from -6% to +10% of its nominal value -in other words, from 216.2 - 253.0 V. So, as you can see, it would be considered quite normal for a 240-V lamp to be subjected to 250 V.
If you have a 240 volt phone charger. Can you use it in a 120 volt power supply?
Did you know that household AC power mains voltages in USA, Canada and other countries which use similar 60 Hz AC supplies, get 240 volts into the main breaker panel? And that the house's normal 120 Volts circuits come off that 240 Volt breaker panel, as well as any 240 Volt circuits for dryers, kitchen ranges, etc.So, IF a battery charger has "240 Volts" on its label or rating plate AND it was designed for use in USA, Canada and other countries which use similar 60 Hz AC supplies, it should work fine.However, IF the battery charger was designed for use on 220-240 Volts in the UK, or other countries which use similar 50 Hz AC supplies, then it may not be safe to use in USA, Canada or other countries that use similar 60 Hz AC supplies.For further information please see the answer to the Related Question shown below.
