What cycles do electric appliances run on in the US and UK?
The UK uses 50 Hz, and the US uses 60 Hz. (US is 120/240V, 60Hz; UK is 230V, 50Hz, though formerly it was 240V.)It's correct that 230 v is the nominal voltage in the UK but the actual voltage nearly everywhere is 240 v.For more detailed information see the answers to the Related questions shown below.60 hertz.
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.
Can hard wire appliances in US work in Europe?

What is the electric frequency of USA?

How electricity is used in the US?

Can New Zealand household electrical appliances be used in the US?
I believe that you can't use New Zealand household electric appliances in the US without adaptations. The residential voltage/Frequency (Hz) in New Zealand is 130V/50 Hz while in US it is 120V/60 Hz <<>> The voltage in New Zealand is 230 volt 50Hertz. The voltage in North America is 120/240 volts at 60 Hertz. A totally resistive appliance will operate fine on the 240 volt portion of the 120/240 volt system. Any appliances that have a motor to operate will not work as efficiently. A 50 Hertz motor on a 60 Hertz system will overheat and run slower. Many appliances use synchronous timer motors for control of the larger appliances. The timing of the appliance will be thrown off as the timers will run faster due to the appliances design to operate only on 50 Hertz.
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.
What is the duration of an electric cycle in the US?
The US power grid is 60 cycle per second alternating current (60 Hertz AC). A 60 Hertz sign wave has a period (duration) of 1/60th of a second.
In your home your stove and your electric clothes dryer usually run on what volt?
220 volts. In the US.
Can 240 volt appliances from NZ run on 240 Volts in the US?
No, 240 volt appliances from New Zealand cannot run on 240 volts in the US. The electrical systems in these countries are different. Appliances intended for use in New Zealand are designed to operate on 230-240 volts at 50 hertz, while in the US, the standard voltage is 120 volts at 60 hertz. Using a 240-volt appliance from New Zealand in the US without a voltage converter or transformer could damage the appliance or pose a safety hazard.
What appliances are made in the US?
GE
Can you use Japanese appliances in the us?
