The voltage is probably not the biggest concern when installing a European appliance in the states as using an adapter or changing the cord should solve that issue. Find out the input voltage required then install a proper adapter to the plug or if its a larger appliance like a range or a dryer you'll just want to install a new power cord which can be found at Home Depot or Lowe's for fairly cheap. It may be a good idea for an electrician to install the cable or adapter to ensure its done correctly. If you wish to change the cord yourself just take a photo of the plug it needs to be plugged into and show a person at home depot and they will get you the correct cable.
What you should be concerned with is the Hertz (Hz). Hertz is the number of cycles of alternating current (AC) experiences per second. The United States runs off 60hz Europe runs off of 50hz. Now some devices can run off either if that is the case with your appliances your fine, however if the device is not build to take 60hz you'll end up damaging or ruining your appliance. Google the manufacture and model number of the appliance and look at it's electrical specs for Hz and see what is listed. If you are unable to find the Hz you should email the manufacture or call customer service and ask them. I think that most major appliance manufactures build their appliances to run off of either, but you should check to be sure.
What else can I help you with?
How can you convert US 120V or 240V circuit into a single phase 240V circuit to use on a European appliance?
The voltage isn't a problem, you can run 220 from your house and use that to run a European appliance, the problem is whether the appliance is dependant on line HZ. European is 50HZ and US is 60HZ. If the appliance specifies 220/50HZ, it will probably give you trouble here. If it says 220V/50 or 60HZ
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.
If you use a 120V appliance out of the US will you still be able to use it in the US after?
If the appliance is designed to operate at 120V only, it should work in the US but may require an appropriate plug adapter. However, if the appliance is not dual voltage and needs a different voltage in the other country, it may not work properly or could be damaged when used in the US. Always check the appliance's voltage requirements before using it in different countries.
Formula for converting US voltage to India voltage?
There is no formula to convert voltage. Voltage is universal.
Do European appliances work in the US?
yes they do! :) Europe uses a different voltage than the US and also has different shaped electrical plugs, so you can't just plug a European appliance into an American electrical outlet. If you can get the right kind of current, then the appliances will still work.
Can you run a us appliance in the UK?
No. Not unless you use a transformer to change the voltage. In the US mains voltage is 110-120 V and the current 60Hz Alternating Current. In the UK and almost all of Europe mains voltage is 230-240 V and the current 50Hz Alternating Current. So, if you attempt to use a US appliance in the UK the voltage, which is at least twice the amount of that in the US will create double the current in the device. This will either immediately blow an internal fuse, or burn the appliance out. In extreme cases it could even cause a fire.
Can you convert a hanging chandelier wired for European currency Germany to use in a US residence?
Yes, you can convert a hanging chandelier wired for European currency to be used in the US by changing the wiring to accommodate the US voltage (110-120V) and plug type (typically Type A/B). This may involve rewiring the chandelier or using a voltage converter depending on the electrical specifications of the fixture. It is recommended to consult with a qualified electrician to ensure the conversion is done safely and correctly.
Can you give us a circuit of low voltage convert to high voltage?
yes. using step up transformer we can convert low vlg to hi vlg
Convert European child size 164 to US?

Is it possible to convert the clapper which has US plugs to European by yourself?
yes
what kind of voltage converter do I need for trip to India?
India's voltage is 230V so you need one that will convert from that to US standard.
