1) Possible... You can buy a converter in any electrical supplies store.

Plug in your appliance(s) in this converter then plug the converter

into your 220V outlet.

2) Most of the Automatic Voltage Regulator has a 110V outlet. Plug in your

appliance in this outlet and plug in the AVR in the 220V outlet. Hope I help you

Most countries, outside the Americas and some parts of Japan, have a supply voltage between 200 and 250 volts. A standard voltage allows goods to be manufactured more efficiently, and most applications allow a range of about 210-250 volts.

The Philippines as well as most of Europe use 220 volts because that is what was available when electricity was installed. The United States uses 110 volts for electrical outlets.

Because it's more dangerous to use 220V than to use 110V.

Why there is different types of voltage range 210 Volt 220 Volt 230 Volt 240 Volt 250 Volt in single phase AC system and what it based?

In the US the voltage is about 220 volts. This voltage is based upon the average voltage of the AC sine wave. It can peak as high as 240 volts or as low as 210 volts. So these different voltages are actually referring to an average 220 volt system.


Can you use 240 volts to 220 volts?

Each voltage has a range and devices rated in that range will all work . The 110 to 120 volts is one range of voltages. The 220 to 240 is another range of voltages. The reason there is a range of voltages is to help the utility company out. They are mandated to keep the voltages within a + or - 5% range of a set voltage. Because there are loads coming on line and loads dropping off line the voltage fluctuates. Using a base voltage of 115 and 230 volts means that the voltage can rise by 115 +5% = 121 volts and drop by 115 - 5% = 109 volts. In the 230 volt range the voltage can rise by 230 + 5% = 241 and drop by 230 - 5% = 219 volts. As you see they are still in the usable voltage ranges.

Why does 220 volt line put out 250 volts?

A 220 volt line may put out 250 volts because this specification features voltage that varies between 220 and 250 volts. In other countries, the electricity varies in voltage between 110-120 volts.


If a building has only 101 volts at the outlets but should be at least 110 volts what could be the problem?

First check voltage at the main and make sure you have 220 volts coming in. Check the voltage at both peak and off peak hours. If you find low voltage at the main lugs contact you local utility provider.

Why 380 volts line to line if connect line to neutral is 220 volts?

A voltage of 380 volts is a three phase voltage. On a three phase four wire system, each phase leg to neutral (grounded) will give you 220 volts. This voltage is obtained by dividing the phase voltage by 1.73, as the phase legs are generated 120 degrees from each other. Square root of three is 1.73 divided into 380 equals 220 volts.
