It depends on the equipment. The nameplate of the appliance should have the appropriate voltage tolerances and frequency requirement. In North America, most appliances will be designed for 60 Hz use. Higher voltage residential appliances are typically rated at 230 VAC. The typical household voltage supplied by the utility is between 220 - 250 VAC (between phase), and 110 - 125 VAC (phase to ground) .

In commercial and multi-family units, it is very common to have 120/208 VAC instead (beyond the scope of this question). Therefore, most ranges, water heaters, air conditioners, heaters, and dryers are designed to operate at 208 VAC as well. You should read the nameplate of the appliance, read the owners manual, and / or consult a licensed electrician if you are still unsure. C. P., Master Electrician
