Nominal residential voltage is 120/240 volts. Not sure from you description if the plug is just rated at 230 volts or is supplying 230 volts (It is likely that the plug may be rated at 230 volts, but only operating at 120 volts). A typical hand held hair dryer would operate on 120 volts. A commercial hair dryer might operate at 220 volts, but must be plugged into a 220 supply.

Is 230 208 the same as 220?

No, 230 and 208 are not the same as 220. 230 and 220 are close in value but not identical, while 208 is a different voltage level. It's important to ensure the correct voltage is used when operating electrical equipment to prevent damage or safety hazards.


What is the electricity voltage in Germany?

220/240 volt (double that in the USA). The critical thing to know is the frequency. In the States it is 60 Hz and in Europe is is 50 Hz (Hertz). This is important because anything with a motor and a power cable will be frequency dependant. Leave any device at home in the US when traveling or moving to Europe as it will not work if the motor is a 110/120 volt motor. For example, Washer Dryer, Refrigerator, Hair Dryer. Thing like a tape player, stereo, CD Player with a wall plug will work fine because inside the 110 unit it converts all electricity to a DC voltage so a typical voltage convert from 220 to 110 will do fine with these devices. On the other hand an item like a Hair Dryer is a 110 volt motor and cannot survive a 50 Hz attack and will burn up. You can by voltage converters in Germany when you get there.

what kind of voltage converter do I Need To Run A Clothes Dryer When I Just Have Standard 110 voltage In My Home ?

A step down converter will convert the voltage from 220/230 volts to 110 volts. Converters are labeled to display their capabilities, such as "110V to 220V Converter". Read the instruction manual for your Clothes Dryer and sketch the plug. You'll want to know the voltage of the clothes dryer --- it'll likely be 220 V. You need to visit a major appliance dealer and ask to buy a step down converter after discussing the plug type and voltage found in the owner's manual.

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
