When referring to 220/230/240 volts, the reference is to the nominal voltage. To be most proper, 240. A plug rated 220v or 230v or 240v should all be the same one. Different manufacturers use different versions of it, but they all generally mean 240 volts. So yes, unless there is something actually different between the two plugs, the new one should work just fine. IF YOU NOT ALREADY SURE YOU CAN DO THIS JOB

SAFELY AND COMPETENTLY

REFER THIS WORK TO QUALIFIED PROFESSIONALS. If you do this work yourself, always turn off the power at the breaker box/fuse panel BEFORE you attempt to do any work AND always use a meter or voltage indicator

to insure the circuit is, in fact, de-energized.

Yes, a 230-volt appliance should work fine on a 220-volt outlet in South Africa. The small difference in voltage is usually within the tolerance range of most appliances. However, it's always a good idea to check the appliance specifications to ensure compatibility and avoid any potential damage.


Can you plug a 220 hair dryer into a 230 plug?

Nominal residential voltage is 120/240 volts. Not sure from you description if the plug is just rated at 230 volts or is supplying 230 volts (It is likely that the plug may be rated at 230 volts, but only operating at 120 volts). A typical hand held hair dryer would operate on 120 volts. A commercial hair dryer might operate at 220 volts, but must be plugged into a 220 supply.

AC devices are generally designed with a 7-10% tolerance on input mains. Yes it will work, yes there will be a very minor loss of efficiancy but not so that you would notice in your electricty bill.
