230 v appliances are made to work over a range of voltages and this includes 240 v. Usually the supply voltage can vary + or - 6% and the equipment must be designed for that.
In the UK the nominal voltage is 230 v with a tolerance of -6% +10% because many or most of the outlets work at 240 v in practice.

Is there an adapter that can be used on 230 volt 30 amp air conditioner appliance to make it fit a 220 volt 20 amp socket safely?
My electrician says no, has to be some rewiring.
If you have a 230 volt appliance what does that mean?
It means that, to operate at its rated power, the appliance must be provided with a 230-V supply.
Is it safe to run a 230 volt with 110 electric?
No a 230 volt appliance should not be pluuged into a 110 volt socket (And vice versa) you need to buy a converter that can be plugged into the 110 volt outlet then the appliance can be plugged into the converter.
What does a 230 volt plug look like?
Answer for Europe and other countries using similar 230 Volt, 50Hz household AC power - but excluding UK and Republic of IrelandIt has three round prongs for Live, Neutral and Earth. In some countries, it has two round prongs plus a socket for an Earth prong that is part of the socket outlet.For some sample pictures see the Related Links shown below.Answer for UK and Republic of Ireland and some other countries using similar 230 volt, 50 Hz household AC power It has three rectangular prongs and a cartridge fuse built-in. The fuse can be changed to suit the appliance the plug is feeding, either 3 Amp, 5 Amp or 13 Amp, so it is the right size to protect the appliance.The Earth prong is larger and longer than the other two which are for the Live and Neutral connections.The matching socket outlet has a spring-loaded shutter, made of a non-conducting material, which covers the holes for the Live and Neutral prongs as soon as a plug is unplugged.When a plug is inserted into a socket outlet the longer Earth prong pushes the spring-loaded shutter out of the way to allow all the prongs to enter the socket outlet.For a sample picture see the Related Link shown below.
Can you charge 230 volts appliances with 130 volts?
No, you will need to obtain an adapter to change the 120 volts to 230 volts. The adapter must be sized to the load wattage of the 230 volt appliance. To find the load wattage multiply the amperage times the voltage of the appliance. Once this is assessed, the size of the adapter or transformer will be of equal or greater value than that of the connected appliance. The adapter will be rated in VA or KVA depending on the needed load amperage.
Can you plug a 230 Volt 50 Hz appliance into a 220 Volt 50 Hz outlet?
Yes

Can you make a 230 volt fluorescent lamp work in a 120 volt socket?
No, do not waste your time.
Can you plug a 220 volt appliance into a 240 volt outlet?
Yes. As far as in the US 220v and 240v is pretty much the same thing. People call it 220 but realistically you prob have 230-240v. Get a cheap voltage tester and check it out
What remedy can you do if you plugged the 120 volt to 220 volt battery charger?
There is no remedy but to plug it into a 230 circut.
Can an appliance of 230 V 10 A inert fuse be used in Australian domestic homes with 240 v power supply?
Yes, 240 volts is a "nominal" figure, related to peak current. The actual usable voltage is in the 220 -230 range and any 220-230 volt appliance will be quite happy.
What resistance using to reduce the volt from 230 to 110 by using?
For a 110v appliance to be run from a 230 v supply, a resistor is not the solution because the appliance is designed to run on a constant-voltage low-resistance supply. Depending on the power requirement, transformers can be found to convert the voltage correctly.
What power outlet is used in Egypt?
In Egypt the standard 2 point (European) plug (and power) is being used. See here :http:/en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mains_power_around_the_world Steph Check also the voltage, probably 230 volts in Egypt. DO NOT use any 120 volt appliance on 230 volts - loud, expensive explosion!
