Yes, as long as it is simply an on off switch. The switch only opens and closes a contact point.

How do you upgrade household wiring from 110 volt to 220 volt?
your house has 220 you must use a 2 pole breaker. your wiring will change ,not a do it your selfer call someone
Can you use a 10 amp switch to open a window in a 12 volt dc system?
No, you cannot use a 10 amp switch to open a window in a 12 volt DC system. This is because the switch would not be able to handle the current necessary to power the window motor. The amount of current required to open a window in a 12 volt DC system is typically much higher than 10 amps, and so the switch would not be able to cope with the load. In addition, the switch would not be able to sustain the current necessary to keep the window open, which could lead to the window becoming stuck in the open position. Furthermore, the switch would not be able to handle the circuit protection requirements necessary to keep the window safe. For these reasons, it is not recommended to use a 10 amp switch to open a window in a 12 volt DC system.
Can you use 60 amp breaker for 110 V at 110 ft and what wire is best?
A breaker is based on wire size, as the breaker protects the wire and not the load. This is a voltage drop question. A #3 copper conductor will limit the voltage drop to 3% or less when supplying 60 amps for 110 feet on a 110 volt system.

How many watts of lighting is required in a 15' x 10' room?
'Lighting', or the amount of light is not measured in watts. A 'watt' is a unit of power, measurement of current drawn. Most 100 watt/110 volt lamps initially produce 1690 lumens (a 'lumen' is the measure of the total "amount" of visible light emitted by a source). A 15 foot by 10 foot room is not very big, and one or two 100 watt incandescent lamps on a ceiling light fixture on a 120 volt service can light it adequately. I mention "110 volt" as in parts of the world with 220 mains these numbers change. As the voltage is doubled, the watts required would halve for the same amount of light. In other words, all other things being equal, a 50 watt 220 volt lamp should use the same amount of power, producing the same amount of light as a 100 watt 110 volt lamp.
What voltage can not use to a 110 socket?
Only use 110-120 volt appliances on a 110 volt socket.
Your medical machine says 110240 can you use it in a 240 volt system in cuba?
If you mean 110/240, yes, but there may be a hidden switch to switch it to 240 volt mode. Check the manual.
Can you use Nintendo DSi on 110 volt and 220 volt?
no
Why do i still have 12 volt when i use disconnect switch in my RV?
The RV has a 12 Volt DC power supply that operates all the 12 Volt DC items in your RV when your plugged in to 110 V AC.
Does 110 use direct current?
No. 110 volt is AC current
Can you use a 220 volt printer on 110 volt service?
No, unless it is dual rated for 110 - 220 volt use. Check the manual or look at the rating sticker that should be somewhere on the printer.
Can you use 110 volt printer with 220 volt?
You need a step down voltage transformer that converts 220 volt to 110 volt to use a 110 volt printer with 220 volt. You can get good quality transformers at East West International in Houston, TX. If you order online or over the phone, they can ship it to you in 2-3 business days.
Can you use a 12 volt automotive bulb in a 24 volt application?
no
Can you use a 100 volt Japanese appliance in 220 volt country such as Hong Kong with 110 volt converter?
yes
Can you use a 12 volt dimmer switch for a 240 volt ceiling rose?
No, the voltage rating of the switch is too low.
Is it safe to run a 230 volt with 110 electric?
No a 230 volt appliance should not be pluuged into a 110 volt socket (And vice versa) you need to buy a converter that can be plugged into the 110 volt outlet then the appliance can be plugged into the converter.
Can you use a 120 volt appliance in a 110 volt house?
Yes, the two voltages are in the same voltage range.
