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 240 volt appliances from NZ run on 240 Volts in the US?
No, 240 volt appliances from New Zealand cannot run on 240 volts in the US. The electrical systems in these countries are different. Appliances intended for use in New Zealand are designed to operate on 230-240 volts at 50 hertz, while in the US, the standard voltage is 120 volts at 60 hertz. Using a 240-volt appliance from New Zealand in the US without a voltage converter or transformer could damage the appliance or pose a safety hazard.
How volt and amps used in house?
In a household, voltage is the electrical force that pushes the current through the wires, while amperage (amps) measures the rate of flow of this current. The standard voltage in homes is typically 120 volts in the US and 230 volts in Europe, with the amperage depending on the devices connected. Appliances like lights use lower amperage, while appliances like dryers or stoves use higher amperage.
If your house is wired for 240 volts do you have to have your house rewired for 230 volts?
No. 240 Volts was the nominal standard in Australia with a tolerance of +/- 10%, So the voltage could be anywhere between 216 Volts and 264 Volts. The change to 230 volts is part of international harmonisation between countries that use 220 volt standards and 240 volt Standards. The new tolerance levels are +10% and - 6%.
Will a 220 volt ballast operate from a 230 volt source?
Yes, 220 volts is in the same voltage classification as 230 volts.
Would US appliance's like a clothes washer that run on 120 volts work on European 230 volts?
Definitely not !! it would be dangerous to use 120 volt equipment on a 230 volt supply, it would either blow the fuse or blow up . . You need a transformer to convert 230 volts to 120 volts, and you need one of the right rating. For a washing machine that might be quite a big transformer. We have 110 volt transformers for power tools but they are not big enough.
How many volts are used in worcester?
Worcester, Ma uses 120 volts at 60 Hz for lighting and outlets and 240 volts for some appliances and HVAC. Worcester, England uses 230 volts at 50 Hz.
Is it safe to use 230 volts 50 hz appliances where power supply is 230 volts 60 hz?
If the appliance is strictly resistive heating there will be no problem. If the appliance has a motor load connected with it, the unit will operate a bit slower and operate a bit warmer.
What are transformers for?
They transform most usually voltage or current. Your phone charger is a transformer that transforms 230/110 Volts into probably 5 Volts to charge your phone.
If the current is 5 what is the volts?
the volts are 230
How many volts in an office?
230 Volts
How many volts are in a power point?
230 volts
What is 230v outlet?
It's an outlet wired for dryers, stoves and some large heaters. In about 50% of the world 230 Volts is the standard household supply used for all appliances. In the other half of the world it is 110 Volts.
