A voltage converter is a device that converts the electricity from the US standard of 120V to the European standard of 230V. You need one because using a 230V appliance on a 120V circuit can damage the appliance and potentially cause safety hazards. 3. Do I need a plug adapter as well? Yes, you will also need a plug adapter to convert the First make sure your house wiring can handle it. I checked the amperage to the outlet where I wanted to plug this in -- it was on the breaker in the box and was labeled. It was a 10A circuit, so this transformer at 220V and 2000W is the biggest I can run without tripping the breaker because 220V at 2000W is 9.09A. Input: 115/230V 50/60Hz 200W that means you can change the voltage on appliance from 230v to 115v. Just switch to 115v and use a an adaptor as said above. If back of your appliance says Input: 220V 60Hz 2.8A that means it can only work with 220v like in Pakistan but won't work in Canada. The voltage of single phase supply is 230V whereas it is 415V in a three phase supply. Can I plug 230V into 220V? Yes. The 230V nominal supply will work over a fairly wide range and 220 – 240V is considered normal fluctuation. So, 220, 230 or 240 V, AC, 50 Hz – compatible with each other. Is it OK to use 230V to 220V? 144 points. Jun 11, 2012 6:48 AM in response to Albert c. Yes. You can charge your iPad in every outlet, you just need the right plug. Check for the Apple world travel kit. It gives you all the plugs for every country in the world. just put the right adapter on it and plug in your usb cord. ( 0) If the appliance is connected to a 220V power supply, the power can be doubled at the moment the appliance is turned on. The protection part will be damaged if it is accompanied by smoke and flash. Can 110v work on 220V? It isn’t safe to plug 110v to 220v. Overvoltage can destroy the appliance as such if the appliance has a motor, the motor * How can you change the plug on a 120 volt appliance to plug it into a 240 volt socket outlet? or 125v are versions of 120v in electrical jargon and voltages such as 220v or 230v are versions Crimp the ring lugs on each of the three wires individually. Push the wire through the barrel of the ring lug until the end of the wire is just past the end of the barrel. You don't want to push it too far or it will interfere with tightening the screw down. Then place your wire crimpers around the barrel and squeeze. Most domestic appliances are rated 220 volts and below. This means that they can run on either 220 or 240 volts. However, plugging a 240 volt kiln, for example, into a 220 volts circuit will result in slow firings. This is because the kiln was designed to run on 240 volts and will not, therefore have full amperage if running on 220 volts. 4FWy.

can i plug 230v to 220v
