No, a 240 volt device runs on 240, and a 120 volt device runs on 120. Attempting to run a device on incompatible voltage results in damage.

Can you change wall plugs 110 volt systems to suit 240 volt appliances?

No, you cannot simply change the wall plug to make a 110 volt outlet support a 240 volt appliance. The voltage requirements of the appliance and the outlet must match for safe operation. You would need to install a dedicated 240 volt outlet and ensure that the wiring and circuitry can handle the higher voltage. It is recommended to consult a licensed electrician for this type of electrical work.

I have my 120 volt appliance and in Philippines we have 240 volt. Can a 110 - 250 volt adapter be used?

An adapter can be used. Make sure that the adapter that you use is of a capacity that it can produce the amperage that your appliance needs. An adapter too small will burn itself open and will be of no use to anyone. Remember; Watts = Amps x Volts.

Is it possible to use a 110 volt product with 240 volt?

Yes provided that you use a transformer that will transform 110 to 220/240. Without the transformer you will blow your equipment. You can take a USA appliance and go to Europe and other places that use 220/240 and use it but only if you have a transformer that is in range with the power consumption of the 110 equipment. Most small/portable electrical equipment like computers, tablets or phones bought in the USA are now coming with dual voltage 110/240, so there is no need for transformers. If you equipment does not says 120/240 or 110/220 you WILL need the transformer.


Can 110v circuit power 240v devices?

You need a step-up transformer, to go from 110 to 220-240 volts. Then a 110 volt supply can operate 240 volt equipment.
