In general, yes. There are three things you need to concern yourself with when using electric or electronic devices in other countries: # The voltage
Most, but not all devices have a tolerance that will accept a range between 220 and 240 volts. Many modern electronic devices accept a voltage range from 110 Volts to 240 Volts.
# The frequency
Some devices - especially anything with a motor built into it - will only work properly if supplied with an alternating electric current of the specified frequency. In North America, the frequency is 60 Hz, in Europe it is 50 Hz, and it varies elsewhere. Even if you have the correct voltage, plugging a motor into a supply with the incorrect frequency can damage the motor.
# The plug form factor
Plugs differ from country to country, even when those countries use the same voltage and frequency. Without the correct plug adapter, you may not be able to plug your device into another country's power receptacle.
What else can I help you with?
Can you use a 240v 50hz drill in a country that uses 220v 50hz?
There should be no problem at all.
Can you use a 240V disconnect switch for a 120V AC?
Yes and you will have a spare terminal for future use
What is cheaper to operate 120v motor or 220v same horsepower?
220 volt will use less energy.
How do you activate 240v coil using a 240v contactor?
The coil can be operated by taking one leg of the 240 volts from the top of the contactor and connecting it to one terminal of the coil. Take the other leg of the 240 volts from the top of the contactor and connect it to the device used to turn the contactor off and on. From this switching device take the switched wire and connect it to the other terminal on the contactor's coil. Now when the switching device is activated the contactor will open and close.Before you do any work yourself,on electrical circuits, equipment or appliances,always use a test meter to ensure the circuit is, in fact, de-energizedIF YOU ARE NOT REALLY SURE YOU CAN DO THIS JOBSAFELY AND COMPETENTLYREFER THIS WORK TO QUALIFIED PROFESSIONALS.
How do you convert from 480 volt to 220 volt or 110 volt?
AC voltage conversions are usually done with transformers. Most commonly, a 3 phase 277/480v system is transformed to a 3 phase 120/208v system. You can, however transform to anything you like with the proper transformer. If you are trying to convert 480v single phase to 240v single phase, such as for home use, then ask for that type transformer. It would use only 2 phases of the 3 phase system. Using 2 phases is called single phase and there are reasons for this that are beyond the scope of this answer. 220v and 110v are field measurements of what is considered 240v and 120v when ordering equipment or applying code.
Can I use a device that supports 100-240V in the Philippines?
Yes, you can use a device that supports 100-240V in the Philippines as the standard voltage in the country is 220V.
Can you use a 240v 50hz drill in a country that uses 220v 50hz?
There should be no problem at all.
Will 220v 60hz work on 240v 60hz whitout any problem?
Most appliciances that are built for use with 220V would normally be fine with 240V. In most cases, they are also labeled 220-240V. Depending on how critical the application is, you should probably check with the manufacturer.
If you have a 240V appliance will it work on a 220V outlet?
I guess it will, but it depends on the type of device you use. An electric bulb may glow with reduced intensity at the same time, a regulated psu based device may balance the voltage by drawing required amount of current to bring it to 240V inside the psu unit of that device. It again depends upon the device. Some devices use some range of input operating voltages like 220V ~ 240V.I guess I'm right
Can you use 120V lamps in Europe by just putting in a 240V bulb and a European adapter on the plug?
If all the components are rated to 220V, yes. Keep in mind that if the appliance was designed for 110V it may arc if 220 is run through it. If you don't know the device can handle 220V, don't run it at 220V. Chances are it was manufactured cleaply and cannot handle the extra voltage.
How can I use a Spanish TV in England?
Yes. Spain voltage is 220v, English is 240v (which is close enough!) Spain television uses PAL, as does English.
Can a 240v be plugged in to a 220v socket?
In some parts of the world, an 1875 watt hair dryer can and does use 220 volts from a 220 volt outlet?
How much voltage is used by electrical device?
minimum 230volts In formal electrical jargon, a "device" does not "use" electricity. A device is something like a switch or receptacle(outlet) that helps control or carry electricity but does not consume electricity. In the United States, voltage for home lighting and general purpose receptacles is 120v. Voltage for electrical appliances such as ranges, clothes dryers, or furnaces is 240v. Voltages such as 110v, 115v, or 125v are versions of 120v in electrical jargon and voltages such as 220v or 230v are versions of 240v.
Can you use a 220v outlet to plug a 110v electronic device into?
You cannot directly plug a 110v device into a 220v outlet. This can cause damage to the device or even create a safety hazard. You would need a voltage converter or transformer to safely convert the 220v outlet to the appropriate voltage for the 110v device.
Which device you use to increase voltage from 220V to 11000V?
If it is AC, a transformer. If it is DC, a motor generator.
Can you plug a 125V to 220V?
No, you cannot plug a device rated for 125V into a 220V outlet directly. Doing so may damage the device and pose a safety hazard. You would need a voltage converter or transformer to safely use the device with the higher voltage.
Can you run 220V 50Hz on 120V 60Hz?
If you mean - can you run a 220v device on 120v where the 220v device needs that level of voltage to operate correctly then the answer is no. Even disregarding the frequency difference which some devices aren't affected by, the voltage difference is too great. Some devices these days, such as phone chargers, laptop power supply units etc will run happily on a voltage range from 100v up to 240v (read the label first) but they are the exception. The question is somewhat ambiguous and needs more information.
