Yes in most cases. If you live in the US and your appliance was made to work in the US and you have Two Hot conductors, red and black and your appliance says its rated for 220 V your ready to roll. If you live in the US and your appliance was made to work elsewhere in the world with the exception for Canada then its very doubtful. The US uses Split-Phase 240V so you can get 120V Circuits also and most of the rest of the world uses 240V Single Phase right to their regular receptacles. 220V is an archaic term and is meant to be used in the 220V-250V range

250 volt appliance work in 220 volt world zone?

normally, appliance are built in 110v or 220v, applied in 100-140v and 200-240v. if your 250v appliance is common home appliance equipment, then 220volt is ok, i think. otherwise, you should ask the vendor for special power supply.


Can a 200 volt appliance operate on a 240 volt circuit?

No, a 200 volt appliance is designed to operate on a 200 volt circuit. Plugging it into a 240 volt circuit could damage the appliance or cause it to malfunction. It is important to use appliances with the correct voltage requirements to ensure safe and proper operation.


How can you hook up 208 volts to 240 volt European system?

Answer for USA, Canada and countries running a 60 Hz supply service.You would use a 1 Phase, 208 input, 120/240 output transformer.No!This question is really asking how to obtain a 3-phase supply inside a dwelling that currently has only 120/240v single phase. The answer is to ask your electricity supply utility company for a quotation to install all 3 phases onto a new breaker panel. Then, to provide the 3-phase circuit(s) you want to use, you can have appropriate 3-phase breakers, cable runs and outlets installed by any licensed electrician.IF YOU ARE NOT ALREADY SURE YOU CAN DO THIS JOBSAFELY AND COMPETENTLYREFER THIS WORK TO QUALIFIED PROFESSIONALS.If you do this work yourself, always turn off the powerat the breaker box/fuse panel BEFORE you attempt to do any workANDalways use an electricians test meter having metal-tipped probesto insure the circuit is, in fact, de-energized.

Will 200 volt appliance work in with 240 volt supply?

It will work but not as efficient as the manufacturer designed it to. If motors are involved in the appliance they will run hotter as they will draw a higher amperage due to the lower voltage. Appliances with a wattage rating for heating elements will not reach their nameplate wattage rating.

How Convert 200 volt to 230 volt?

If a precision voltage is needed from 200 to 230 an auto transformer could be used. If the load is a 230 volt motor to be operated on 200 then add 15% to the nameplate full load amperage for the calculation for overload protection.

Can you use a 240 Volt battery charger on 110 volts?

The depends on the current drawn by the 240 Volt battery charger. Some appliances, such as small battery chargers, small "voltage converters" for international travel, electric shavers, etc., have been designed to run safely on different supply voltages. The appliance's label or "rating plate" will state the range of voltages it can safely be used on. Whilst a small appliance like that will work fine as long as it was made to handle the lower voltage, it's not possible to use a small "voltage converter" for international travel with high-powered appliances such as 220 - 240 Volt electric kettles. The reason is because the current they draw is much too high. Larger 220 - 240 Volt appliances having powers from (say) 100 - 200 Watts (which may be the case for a large battery charger) to 2000 Watts (2kW) or more, like an electric kettle, would need an expensive item called a "Transformer" or "Auto-transformer" to enable them to be used on a 120 Volt supply. Such transformers are much bigger - and heavier - than the small "voltage converters" that are available for international travel. Large transformers are also much more expensive: they can cost from US$100 upwards, even second-hand, depending on the power to be converted. So most folks would just buy a 120 Volt appliance locally in the 120 Volt area. After all, a cheap electric kettle can cost less than US$20 and a really fancy one can be bought for under US$100.


How do you change a 4 V DC 2 Amp power supply to 4 V DC 200 mA?

As Dave says there is no obvious reason to do so. However if you put a 200mA fuse or circuit breaker in series between the supply and the load you will protect the load from pulling more than 200mA from the supply should the load malfunction. That way the load is protected from damaging itself (if that was your concern).

What happens if a 2 amp power supply is used on a circuit needing 200 mA?

Everything would work as designed if you used a 2 amp power supply for a 200 ma circuit.It's important to not go OVER the designed capacity of the power supply, and in fact, it's a good idea to make sure the power supply has at least double the capacity of the load current.
