All over Europe we have now 230 volts. Its all history and politics. World map of voltage and frequency: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:WorldMap_Voltage%26Frequency.png Cheers ebs
A step-up transformer would be required to supply 230 volts from a 220 volts source from South Africa.
One breaker in the North American electrical system will supply 110 volts. Two adjacent tied breakers will produce 220 volts.
A single phase meter will have two "hot" wires, one black the other red. Each wire will carry 120 volts. Essentially these two wires together will provide you with 240 volts. Hire a professional when dealing with electricity.
220 volts alternating current
Nominal residential voltage is 120/240 volts. Not sure from you description if the plug is just rated at 230 volts or is supplying 230 volts (It is likely that the plug may be rated at 230 volts, but only operating at 120 volts). A typical hand held hair dryer would operate on 120 volts. A commercial hair dryer might operate at 220 volts, but must be plugged into a 220 supply.
No.
Across the whole of Africa the domestic supply is single phase 50Hz and in the range, depending on country, from 220 to 240 Volts.
Answer for USA, Canada and countries running a 60 Hertz supply service.220 volts automatically comes into your house on any three wire utility connection.
220 volts.
China uses 220 Volts AC for household electricity
A 220 volt line may put out 250 volts because this specification features voltage that varies between 220 and 250 volts. In other countries, the electricity varies in voltage between 110-120 volts.
220 volts means the power behind the electricity. current means the speed at which the electricity is being transmitted. currecnt is measure in amperes.
220/240 volts AC
AC 220/240 volts
240/220 480 volts 3 phase
No. You are missing 10 volts.
The main electricity company is Energias de Portugal (EDP)Portugal's standard electricity supply is 220 Volts (V), 50 Hertz (Hz) AC although in some older properties it may still be possible to find a 110 Volts supply or a combination of the two.Note: A country's available electricity supply is printed on the glass of a light bulb, or on the light bulb packet.In some remote areas such as the Serra da Estrela and Trás-os-Montes there are still some isolated rural communities without mains electricity supply using generators.
