No, of course not. The power supply needs to match the 'wall power' to provide the proper voltages to the motherboard. On the bright side, most power supplies sold in the US have a slide switch to select between 110/220 volts input. It may be as simple as moving a little red switch on the back of the power supply to configure your power supply to 110 v.
What else can I help you with?
If I connect 110v xbox one to a 220v outlet what will burn will the power supply burn or will the Xbox one burn?
If you connect 110V xbox one to a 220V outlet, only the power supply will burn and not the Xbox one.
If you have a computer which start with 110v so by using converter can the computer starts with 220v?
Yes. If the computer power input is only rated for 110V input, you can power it from 220V by using a voltage converter from 220V to 110V with appropriate wattage. Some computer power supplies also have a switch for setting 110V/220V in which case computer can be powered from 220V after changing the setting. Most of the portable computers/laptops have power adapters which are rated for universal voltage (e.g. my Dell laptop AC adapter is rated for 100-240V 50-60Hz).
Can you modified a power sources from110v in 220v?
of course. go to the market and buy a transformer. It will convert a 110V supply to a 220V supply.
Can a computer built in England on 240v work in a country that uses 110v?
Its all in the power supply. If there is a switch that lets you change the input voltage from 240 to 120 then you are fine. Most computers have this switch on the power supply, its located on the back of the computer up by the top. All you will have to do is change the plug on the cord to fit that country's 120 volt receptacle.
When do you need to convert the voltage for appliances?
You need to convert the voltage if your appliance requires less voltage than you power supply. example: appliances is 110V and power supply is 220V.
Can you switch from 110V to 220Vv on dell desktop computer?
Some Dells can be switched as well as other manufacturers. There is a switch on the back of the computer at the power supply that can be switched. Before you buy any brand make sure that that specific model can be switched if you have that requirement.
Will an American computer with an 800 watt power socket work in a UK 240 volt power supply?
Some do and some don't. You need to check the power supply's specifications. The input voltage and frequency range is normally stated on a label visible from the rear of the computer. Many modern PC power supplies will accept a range of input voltage and frequency, or at least have a switch to chose between 110V/60Hz and 240V/50Hz.
Can 240v coil contactor be connected to 110v supply?
no
220v or 110v which one is best for computer?
Must match the rating on your computer. More typical connection is 110-120VAC. If your computer is rated for 220-240 VAC you would need a different plug. It would draw 1/2 the current at 220 than 110.
Which is better 220 versus 110 volts both with 20 amps?
At 20 amps the 220V will supply twice (2x) the power that the 110V will supply. The answer depends upon your meaning of the term 'better'. If you have a specific size load that you are supplying such as a motor that will accept either 220V or 110V then by using 220V you will have less of an impact from voltage drop and the conductor size will be smaller due to the current being 1/2 of the 110V. If by better you mean which one will give you the most power then the obvious answer is 220V.
What gets the electricity into a computer?
Typically computers are connected to a UPS. Rarely they are connected to direct power supply. The UPS may provide 110V or 220V supply oscillating at 50Hz and 60Hz. These values depend on the particular country's power supply standards. The electricity supply then goes to SMPS in case of desktops. SMPS is a control circuit that switches the load current rapidly on and off in order to stabilise the output voltage. Typically different components get different levels of voltages. It may range from 1.5V to 12V. Note that computer components run on DC supply not AC supply so it is converted by SMPS. In case of laptops the AC supply is converted to DC and then given to battery which further supplies the laptop components.
Can a 110V device be repaired after plugging it into a 220V socket?
Plugging a 110V device into a 220V socket can cause significant damage to the device. The device may experience a power surge that can damage internal components such as the power supply. Repairing the device may be possible, but the extent of the damage would need to be assessed by a professional technician.
