I'm not an electrical engineer, but if you bring a 110V only appliance and plug it in with a plug adapter to a European socket (220V), your 110V appliance will "fry" no matter how high/low the Tighten down the screws and give the cable a tug to make sure it's secure. Finish up by tightening the cable clamp on the switch housing to hold the cable securely and replacing the housing cover. Advertisement. Before you wire a 230V air compressor, you should always check the manual for the proper wire gauge. Actually, nothing whatsoever changed. Standards require that the product can cope with 230V±10%. The only product that remained different was filament lamps, because the life varies inversely as the twelfth power of voltage, 240V will reduce the life of a 220V lamp by 65%.
However, they have access to 220V. They use 220V to run heavy items like power tools and dryers. Whether you prefer 110V or 220V, the wire size doesn’t change. You can apply the wire sizes from a 110V system to a 220V system. For example. The 12-gauge wire you find in a 220V 20-amp power tool will work on a 20A 110V device.
$\begingroup$ @BobD - I lived for a while in the Netherlands, with 240VAC plugs. The nearby Air Force base hosted a US squadron. At the Elektronika Dump (random electronics store) in my neighborhood it was easy to find nice 240->120 stepdown transformers for USAF personnel to buy to use their US appliances in the Netherlands.
A: The VC2000W is a step up or step down voltage transformer so input voltage can be 110V ~ 120V or 220V ~ 240V (Single phase). 2000 Watts at 110V is 18 Amps so your wall outlet should be on a circuit that supports 20 Amps or more depending on the appliance you are trying to power.
Using 220 might lower the electric bills due to 110v wires being under sized for near the limit use. Most 110 circuits "expect" and are wired for, at most, hair dryers, TVs, coffee makers etc. When you plug in your new fat table saw rated at 110v, 15amp normal running.
So for 120V Distribution, the Utilization voltage is 115V; for 240V it is 230V, for 208V it is 200V, for 480V it is 460V and for 600V it is 575V. So how that works out is that a MOTOR for example will be built for 230V, +-10%, so it can accept anything from 207 to 253, and because the Distribution Voltage is 228 to 252V, it fits right in.

So don’t be confused; 110v, 115v, and 120v all refer to the same thing, as do 220v, 230v and 240v. But back to the chart – as you can see, only the smaller units will operate efficiently with the lower voltage circuit – 110v. The majority of them require a 220v circuit.

    • can i use 230v in 220v
