What is the electricity voltage in Great Britain?
The electricity voltage in Great Britain is 230 volts.
Can you buy an adapter plug to alternate the power from 230 to 240 volts in the UK?
The nominal voltage in the UK is 230 V and it is allowed to vary between -6% and +10%. In other words, the actualvoltage can vary between 216 V and 253 V. So there is absolutely no need for an adapter to change the voltage from 230 V to 240 V.
Can you charge 230 volts appliances with 130 volts?
No, you will need to obtain an adapter to change the 120 volts to 230 volts. The adapter must be sized to the load wattage of the 230 volt appliance. To find the load wattage multiply the amperage times the voltage of the appliance. Once this is assessed, the size of the adapter or transformer will be of equal or greater value than that of the connected appliance. The adapter will be rated in VA or KVA depending on the needed load amperage.
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
What voltage is used in Germany?
AC voltage is 220v in Germany.Normal household appliances are 240v, some dual phase appliances such as cookers are 400v.
How do you convert 23 voltage DC to 230 Voltage AC?
How do you convert 23 voltage DC to 230 Voltage AC?
Which type of voltage is 230 volt?
The classification of 230 volts is in the low voltage range.
What voltage is used in England 120 or 220 or 230 v?
Britain used to use 240V but now uses 230V (the same as the rest of Europe).Another AnswerThe nominal residential voltage in the UK is 230 V, and it is allowed to vary between -6% and +10%. This means it can be any value between 216 V and 253 V.
How much power will a 230v adapter pull from a 120v outlet?
Power is multiplication of voltage and current. You need to know the load current drawing to establish the power. It is a bad idea to use 230 v adapter in 120 volts outlet
What is the voltage in Uruguay?
230 volts.
If you buy a television or computar in another country why might you have trouble using it in the US?
For one thing, the supply voltage in the USA is different from almost anywhere else. In Europe, for example, the mains voltage is between 230 volts (in much of the mainland Europe) and 240 volts in the UK. Much of Asia is of a similar voltage. Therefore most electrical appliances can be used across these countries with little problem as the mains voltage is very similar. However, in the USA, the mains voltage is only 110 volts, which is not enough to run most foreign appliances. Furthermore, if you take an American appliance to Europe and try to use it (even if you buya plug adapter to cope with the different shaped plug) , it will be severely damaged when the supply voltage is more than twice the US voltage. To cope with this, as well as getting a plug adapter you will also need a transformer to alter the voltage from 240V to 110V.
What cycles do electric appliances run on in the US and UK?
The UK uses 50 Hz, and the US uses 60 Hz. (US is 120/240V, 60Hz; UK is 230V, 50Hz, though formerly it was 240V.)It's correct that 230 v is the nominal voltage in the UK but the actual voltage nearly everywhere is 240 v.For more detailed information see the answers to the Related questions shown below.60 hertz.
