Yes, it can. Voltage varies depending upon where you live and what your power company outputs. For instance where I live we recieve 120volts and 240volts, however a lot of places back east run off of 110 and 220. You should have no issues.
With that said the NEC (National Electric Code) recomends no more than plus or minus 10% voltage difference between what is required and what is supplied.

∙ 13y agoNo, you cannot run a 120v 60Hz generator at 230v, 50Hz. and No, you cannot power a 230v device without a 120v source unless it clearly states you can. Depending on the device sensitivity, you may or may not be able to power it off of the wrong power frequency. You'll need to carefully check the specs on your device.

∙ 11y agoIt all depends on what you are plugging in, if the voltage match up then you are pretty safe.

∙ 11y agono, i asked and search about this issue, doing this will damage the motor, wire, adaptor....etc with time

Can you plug a 230V 50Hz bread maker bought in Germany into a 220V 60Hz outlet in Manila Philippines?
no way because frequency cannot change
Can you plug a 220V 60Hz hotplate into a 230V 50Hz outlet?
You can but it would be wise not to. Most 60hz appliances will not work at 50 Hz. <<>> Yes, no problem at all. The frequency does not enter into the equation because the hot plate is a strictly resistive load.
What modifications must be done if 50Hz generator is to be used at 60 Hz?
60Hz generator can be operated at 50Hz as along as certain conditions are met.Basically the problem is that there is a max flux achieveble in any given machine and EA = K(pie)(w) the max allowable E changes when the speed is changed. Vltage must be derated to 50/60 or 83.3% of its original value. jUst the opposite effect happen when 60Hz generator is operated at 50Hz.
What cycles do electric appliances run on in the US and UK?
The UK uses 50 Hz, and the US uses 60 Hz. (US is 120/240V, 60Hz; UK is 230V, 50Hz, though formerly it was 240V.)It's correct that 230 v is the nominal voltage in the UK but the actual voltage nearly everywhere is 240 v.For more detailed information see the answers to the Related questions shown below.60 hertz.
60Hz has higher power than 50Hz?
yes
Will a 230V 50Hz drain pump of a washing machine work on a 220V 60Hz?
No! Normally not, the recistance in the windings is to hig on 60Hz and the pump motor has not power enough to work propelly. This happened to myself when I connected my Whirpool AWE 7519 to 230V 60Hz. Europian model for 50Hz.
How can you convert a 220v 50hz generator to a 220v 60hz?
you can't
Would saudi 220v 60hz appliance work on malaysia 240v 50hz?
yes.
Do Indian electrical devices work in US?
No India uses 240V at 50Hz the U.S. uses 110V at 60Hz.
Can you plug a 50hz 230v refrigerator to a 60hz 230v supply?
It is not advisable because the motor would run 20% faster which might produce damaging overpressure in the thermal circuit.
Can you plug a 230V 50Hz bread maker bought in Germany into a 220V 60Hz outlet in Manila Philippines?
no way because frequency cannot change
Can a 230V 50Hz Rice Cooker used in 220V 60Hz circuit?
Most likely, yes. Most devices has been manufactured with an idea that they will be used in areas where the supply power frequency is 50 or 60Hz.
Is it possible to use a Dryer that has been bought in USA in India. India has a input power supply of 230v 50Hz. Dryer - MaytagPerforma Model PDET910AYW 3 WIRE 60Hz 120-240V 26A 5750 W?
It is important that you should read see the answer to the Related Question shown below: "Can you plug a US 240v 60Hz appliance into a European 230v 50Hz outlet?".No, sorry. Most US dryers have a 240V heater and a 120V timer and motor. While the heater will work fine, you don't have the 120V supply for the timer and motor. Also the timer will run slow on 50hz if it is not solid state (Most dryers still use motorized timers), as well as the drum turning slow, and the airflow being decreased.If you have a sufficiently large voltage converter you can make a neutral for it, but you have no way to know how much current the neutral pulls without testing or cracking it open.You may want to just sell it and buy an Indian dryer.

How can you convert US 120V or 240V circuit into a single phase 240V circuit to use on a European appliance?
The voltage isn't a problem, you can run 220 from your house and use that to run a European appliance, the problem is whether the appliance is dependant on line HZ. European is 50HZ and US is 60HZ. If the appliance specifies 220/50HZ, it will probably give you trouble here. If it says 220V/50 or 60HZ

Hi I'm a barber. can i buy a transformer that can give an output of 120V and at 60HZ in England. Its for my clippers and trimmers. Is there such thing?
You can get a transformer that converts the UK's 230V power to 120V, but you cannot get a transformer that will convert from 50Hz to 60Hz. Often, US equipment can work, except that they will work hotter and less efficiently on the 50Hz power. Consult your clipper and trimmer documentation - you may find that it will work just fine on 50Hz.
