120 volts will work in any country.

Answer

If you are asking whether a 120-V appliance will work in the UK, the answer is no. The voltage in the UK is 230 V, so you will need to use a step-down transformer of appropriate rating.

What is effective voltage?

It is the 'as if' voltage in an AC circuit. Referred to as Vrms 120 volts in your house is Vrms, the effective voltage, 'as if' it were DC 120V, can do the same work. But 120VACrms is a sine wave with a peak voltage much higher than 120 volts.

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.


How to you use a US projector in the UK?

The voltage is 240 v in the UK and 120 v in the US, so you can look at the back plate to see if the projector can be adjusted for the different voltage, but if that can't be done you need a 240/120 v transformer and it has to be one that can take the required amount of power (watts).

Convert a US to UK voltage?

If you mean in domestic use, the US is at 120 V and the UK at 240 V. So you need a transformer with a 2 to 1 turn ratio, to step up if using a UK appliance in the US, or to step down if using a US appliance in the UK.
