How do you use UK appliances in Singapore?

To use UK appliances in Singapore, you will likely need a plug adapter to fit the UK plug into a Singapore power outlet. However, be sure to check the voltage requirements of your UK appliances as Singapore uses 230V while the UK uses 240V. Some appliances may be dual voltage or have adapters to adjust for voltage differences. If not, you may need a voltage converter to ensure compatibility.

Are there 600 volt residential service drops for electricity?

Answer for USA, Canada and countries running a 60 Hz supply service.A voltage of 600 volts is not as prevalent in the US as it is in Canada. The US operates on 480 volts. These voltages are mostly used in commercial and industrial applications where large motors and large loads need to be connected. In Canada and the US there are no 600 volt residential service drops that I have heard of.All appliances for residential connections operate off of 120/240 volts in the single phase category and 120/208 volts in the three phase category.


How do you adapt a 3 prong German plug to fit into a 3 prong US 230 dryer outlet?

German appliances don't have three pinned plugs. The standards are the "Schoko" plug, which is a two pin plug with contacts on the side as a ground connection and the "Euro plug which is a two pin plug without a ground connection. There are adapters available at most good electrical stores.


If 220 volt appliances consume half the power of 110 volt appliances why aren't refrigerators being sold in the USA with 220 volts?

True, 220 volt appliances consume less energy than 110 volt ones, but in order to use them in the US, you would need to convert them to 110 voltage. This is a less efficient use of energy. Plus, 220 volt appliances are a more risky because people can get seriously injured if they get shocked from them.

Do you pay duty on appliances purchased in the US and brought into Canada?

I've imported a car and a motorcycle from the US into Canada. This is what I know about importing vehicles, and I think it's the same for appliances: It depends where it's made. If it's made in the US, there is no duty and you will pay GST/PST at the border. If it's not made in the US, then there is a 6.1% duty, then GST/PST. Hope this helps.
