Yes, you can convert a hanging chandelier wired for European currency to be used in the US by changing the wiring to accommodate the US voltage (110-120V) and plug type (typically Type A/B). This may involve rewiring the chandelier or using a voltage converter depending on the electrical specifications of the fixture. It is recommended to consult with a qualified electrician to ensure the conversion is done safely and correctly.


Will it work wired wrong?

No, it will be dangerous. Electricity is very dangerous and installation codes are not written simply to make things work but to make them safe. There are many electrical situations that will work fine even if wired incorrectly. The determination of what is correct or incorrect is what is most safe if something goes wrong. So the question one should ask is not, does it work. But ask the question, If something goes wrong, is this the safest way to have wired this circuit. Only competent electricians who are familiar with and fluent with applicable codes can sufficiently answer this question.
