Power is multiplication of voltage and current. You need to know the load current drawing to establish the power. It is a bad idea to use 230 v adapter in 120 volts outlet

The motor states 120v single phase to operate.can you use it using 230v supply in Singapore?

Absolutely not. In the U.S. all power is 120v on a single line (one hot, one neutral, one ground) overseas all power is 230v on a single line. Will fry your unit. You can however by a step down or up transformer fairly cheaply at radio shack.


What do you need for a 120v device from the US to work in the UK Is it a step down converter?

Yes, to use a 120V device from the US in the UK, you'll need a step-down transformer or converter that reduces the UK’s 230V supply to 120V. Additionally, check if the device's plug type is compatible with UK outlets; you may also need a plug adapter. Always ensure the wattage of the converter exceeds the device’s power requirements to prevent damage.


How do you charge an American drill in the UK?

To charge an American drill in the UK, you need to check the voltage and plug type. Most American drills operate on 120V, while the UK uses 230V. If the drill's charger supports dual voltage (typically labeled 100-240V), you can simply use a UK plug adapter. If not, you will need a step-down transformer to safely convert the voltage from 230V to 120V.


What stepdown transformer is required to run a Breville American 1800w 120v toaster oven off 230v UK mains Specific details of what to ask for say at Maplins or similar places would be useful?

To run a Breville American 1800W 120V toaster oven off a 230V UK mains, you will need a step-down transformer that converts 230V to 120V with at least an 1800W capacity. When asking at a store like Maplins, specify that you need a "step-down transformer" rated for at least 2000W to ensure it can handle the toaster oven's power draw safely. Additionally, request a model with a standard UK plug on the input side and a NEMA 5-15P outlet (or similar) on the output side to match the toaster's plug.


Can 230V appliance plug into a 230v outlet?

Yes, a 230V appliance can be plugged into a 230V outlet as long as the outlet is compatible with the appliance's plug type and configuration. It's important to ensure that both the voltage and plug type match to avoid damaging the appliance or causing a safety hazard.


Can you plug 15A 125V rated US power cord into 230V socket outlet?

No, it is not safe to plug a 125V rated power cord into a 230V socket outlet. The power cord is not designed to handle the higher voltage and could result in damage to the cord or connected devices, and pose a safety hazard. It is important to always match the voltage ratings of power cords and outlets to prevent damage and ensure safe operation.
