Will US electric appliances work in Hong Kong?
Hong Kong uses the same electrical output/sockets as the UK so US appliances will need an adaptor.
How do you use UK appliances in Singapore?
You can use US appliances, but only if you get an adaptor. The island uses 3-pin UK plugs and 240v electrical appliances.
Do European appliances work in the US?
yes they do! :) Europe uses a different voltage than the US and also has different shaped electrical plugs, so you can't just plug a European appliance into an American electrical outlet. If you can get the right kind of current, then the appliances will still work.
Will Australian electrical appliances work in US?
No, not without a converter. Australia's current is 240 volts at 50 hertz.
Would a US power inverter work with Uk appliances provided I use a 3pin to 2pin adapter?
Probably not because all UK appliances work on 240 v while in the USA they work on either 120 v or 240 v. You need to check which voltage your power inverter works at.
Will British electrical appliances work in US?
I was a US Government employee. Me and my family were sent to England where we resided for 7 years. We shipped all our household goods with us including all our US electrical appliances. Once there, we purchased transformers which come in various wattage ratings. The transformer actually converts the 220voltage down to the required 120 volts for US products. Anything with a motor would only be turning at 50 cycles a second vise the 60 cycles of US current. This would only affect the playing speed of say a record player (obselete now) but radios, toasters, coffee pots or anything of that nature would work fine. Hope this has helped. You need a transformer, as mentioned above. Note that for running UK appliances in the US that is not necissarily true, as the US has 120/240V service. You'd just need a special outlet for your 240V appliances. +++ Some, but by no means all, electronic appliances have 110/240V switches to allow use on either system.
Is it true that all electrical appliances in US work on 110 volts?
No, appliances up to 1500 watts run on 120 v, while for larger equipment 240 v is available in most properties.
Will your US appliances work in Belize?
Yes
Why do the electrical appliances than are bought in America not work in India?
Different system, US uses 110 volt. I think India uses 230 or 240 volt.
Does us electrical appliances work in France?
Not without a step up transformer. The U.S is 120 volts at 60 Hz and France is 240 volts at 50 Hz.
what cycle do electric appliances run on in the US?
The standard electrical supply in the US is 120 V, 60 Hz. Some major appliances use 240 V, 60 Hz.
Will UK electrical appliances work in Ireland?
In general, no, European appliances will not work in the US. Small appliances will have a Eurocord plug, which expects 230 volts and 50 Hz. With a transformer, you can convert a US outlet to a Euro outlet, but for many appliances the difference between 50 Hz and 60 Hz will prevent them working in the US.
