No. You will need a transformer to step up the voltage and you will possibly need to convert the plug.

Can you use a 12 volt adapter on a 15 volt device?
No you shouldn't use a 14 volt 5 amp adapter on a 12 volt 5 amp device unless you know for sure that the 12 volt device has an internal voltage regulator that will lower the voltage to the correct voltage range the device was designed to use. As long as you always take care to check the output voltage with a voltmeter first, to be sure that the voltage from the adapter is regulated, meaning that it does not rise when a lower current in amps is drawn from it, you may be able to use an adapter that gives the right voltage at a higher amp output rating than the device actually takes. (For example, it may be possible to use a 12 volt 7 amp adapter for a 12 volt 5 amp device.)
What device increases or decreases the volt- age of alternating current?
A transformer can step up or step down AC voltage
Can a 110 volt device be plugged into a 125 volt outlet?
Yes, a 110 volt device can be plugged into a 125 volt receptacle. The voltage rating on the receptacle is only there as the highest voltage supply that the manufacturer recommends their equipment be connected to.
Can you use 65 Volt device in 250 Volt plug?
No, the voltage difference is too high.
What is 220 volt transformer?
It's an ac voltage-converting device with an output voltage of 220 v.
List the units for measuring current and voltage?
The unit of voltage is the "volt". The unit of current, sometimes called "amperage", is the "ampere".
Does a 6 amp 240 volt appliance hook up to 110?
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 put 220 volts onto a 110 to 12 volt transformer from the US?
No you shouldn't. Doubling the voltage will double the current through the device. This in your case will apply 24volt to the device connected to the downconverter and will burn it out.
How much power is produced by a circuit by a 9 amp 27 volt circuit?
Power equals the product of current and voltage. The power used by a 9 amp 27 volt circuit is 243 watts. The power produced by the device, however, depends on the device's efficiency.
What is an object called that melts under high voltage to protect circuits?
A device that melts under high current , not high voltage is a circuit protective fuse. There are many fuses that are rated for voltages in the 10,000 volt range. It is the over current that trips them.
If Three 12 volt batteries are connected in parallel what is the effect on the circuit?
There will be no effect on the voltage. That is the effective voltage will be only 12 volt. But there will be increase of current.
Can insulation resistance of cable be checked with a volt meter?
No. A volt-ohmmeter will not check insulation. To check cable insulation you need a special device (called a megger) made for the purpose that imposes a high voltage and measures current leaks.
