Yes. They're essentially the same as 110-115-120 are the same. The power that comes into your house is 240V, but by the time it's transferred through wires and breakers and outlets, it drops to about 220-230V. So anything between 220-230-and-240 is the same thing.

∙ 14y ago230 volts and 240 are close enough to be considered the same. a generator that is 15 amps will draw up to 15 amps of the amps that your generator has to offer. So the answer is yes.

Can one leg of a 240 volt circuit be capped and the circuit breaker changed to make an existing 240 volt outlet into a 120 volt outlet?
Yes, you can always have heavier wire than code requires.
Will splicing a 3 wire 240 volt compressor with a 4 wire 240 volt male end damage compressor motor?
It could if you don't get the terminals and motor wires on the correct terminals.
Can a dryer outlet be converted to 2 separate circuits?
If you are no longer using the dryer and there are 4-wires, and the dryer was 220 to 240 volts, it can be split into two 110 to 120 Volt circuits.
Why there is different types of voltage range 210 Volt 220 Volt 230 Volt 240 Volt 250 Volt in single phase AC system and what it based?
In the US the voltage is about 220 volts. This voltage is based upon the average voltage of the AC sine wave. It can peak as high as 240 volts or as low as 210 volts. So these different voltages are actually referring to an average 220 volt system.
Can you change wall plugs 110 volt systems to suit 240 volt appliances?
It is not just the outlet, but the wiring and breakers that need to be compatible with your 240 Volt appliance. Get an electrician to look at your requirement.
Can you use a 220 volt rice cooker in an Italian 240 volt outlet?
Yes you can, it was manufactured before the new European standards were brought out. I have no trouble with my 220 volt appliances.
Can you use 220 V with 60 Hz appliances from South Korea in US with 240 V outlets?
If the appliance is 220 volt 60 Htz, yes it will work perfectly in the U.S. plugged into a 240 volt outlet.
Can 240 volt device be use in 220 outlet?
Yes, it can. But e.g. a light bulb will have a shorter living time.
Is a 220 volt electrical power wire the same as a 240 volt electrical power wire?
Yes 220 & 240 are considered the same.
Is France 110 volt or 220 volt?
France uses 220-240 volts for their electrical system.
Can you plug a 220 volt appliance into a 240 volt outlet?
Yes. As far as in the US 220v and 240v is pretty much the same thing. People call it 220 but realistically you prob have 230-240v. Get a cheap voltage tester and check it out
Do you have to have a 220 v outlet even though you have a gas stove in michigan?
No, but if you ever switch to an electric stove you will have problems getting a 240 volt circuit to that location. I would go ahead and install a 240 volt outlet at that location if this is new construction. Costs very little and you will be all set for the future.
Can one leg of a 240 volt circuit be capped and the circuit breaker changed to make an existing 240 volt outlet into a 120 volt outlet?

Can you supply three 220 -240 volt 16.6 amp infrared heaters with one circuit?
Can you supply three 220 -240 volt 16.6 amp infrared heaters with one circuit?
When wiring 4 prong plug for 220 has W X G and Y what goes into the X and Y?
On a 240 volt outlet, such as a dryer outlet: G is Ground, W is Neutral, X and Y are the two Hot legs.
Can a dryer outlet be converted to 2 separate circuits?
If you are no longer using the dryer and there are 4-wires, and the dryer was 220 to 240 volts, it can be split into two 110 to 120 Volt circuits.
