By connecting two separate 120 VAC legs into one. If they are and if it comes to your home from a local utility they will be, it will add to 240. Whenever combining AC or Sine waves into one for the purpose of adding they must be in phase.
No, a device designed to work on 50 Hz/60 Hz at 120 VAC will not work on 220 VAC without a voltage converter or transformer. The difference in voltage can damage the device and may not function properly. Always ensure that the device is compatible with the voltage and frequency of the power supply before connecting it.
You can purchase an inverter that accepts 220 VAC 50Hz input and produces 120 VAC 60Hz output. You can purchase an inverter that works from single phase or three phase electricity and can produce single phase or three phase output. You must specify the 120 VAC current load when choosing the inverter. You must also be sure the 220 VAC 50 Hz supply has sufficient current capacity to operate the inverter with the required 120 VAC current load. The inverter works by rectifying the 220 VAC 50 Hz input into DC energy. The inverter then uses switching solid state components to produce 120 VAC 60 Hz output from the DC energy.
The maximum voltage rating for equipment that can be safely operated with a power supply of 230 VAC is typically around 250 volts.
The ratio for a 480 VAC to 120 VAC is 4 to 1.
The maximum voltage rating for a 120/240 VAC breaker is 240 volts.
A power supply is needed to transform the line voltage (e.g. 120 VAC 60 Hz, 240 VAC 50 Hz) to the voltage or voltages needed by the equipment (typically DC voltages between 3 VDC to 300 VDC) depending on the operational requirements of the equipment. Some old vacuum tube equipment needed low voltage AC to heat the vacuum tubes, the power supply then also had to provide these voltages (e.g. 6 VAC, 12 VAC). I have seen power supplies as simple as providing just one DC voltage to power supplies as complex as providing 20 to 30 different DC voltages, some positive and some negative with respect to ground.

The simplest way is to buy a DC power supply that plugs into 120 VAC as its power source and the output is DC at 230 VDC either fixed or variable. Make sure it can deliver the current your device requires and that you use the proper size wire for the DC connection based on the amperage.
Should be about 120 VAC.
