It depends on the appliance you are wanting to use. Most modern charging units for things like mobile phones, computers, electric shavers etc. etc. are rated to work at both voltages so you could use them quite safely. To find out if they are rated look on the body of the charger unit and it will tell you there. For items not duel rated then use a transformer, to directly connect the 110v to 220v could be very dangerous to you and will almost certainly damage the appliance.

What happens when a 2A 220 volt appliance is plugged into a 110 volt?

Not much of anything. The 220 volt appliance needs just that ... 220 volts in order to run. If it runs at all, it certainly would not be running at anywhere near peak efficiency.


Will you save buying a 220 volt ac than a 110?

Yes, in the long run. The 220 volt unit will use less power.


Can a 120 volt appliance run on a 110 volt circuit?

Yes. Circuits in a home are 120 volts but people tend to call them 110 volt circuits. The 120 volts you read on the appliance is the maximum voltage the appliance can handle. The actual voltage you will read at any outlet will range from 110 to 120 volts.


Which will do less damage between plugging a 110-volts appliance into a 220-volts circuit or plugging a 220-volts appliance into a 110-volt circuit?

You will have trouble plugging a 220 volt appliance into a 110 volt outlet because both have different polarities for the plug and receptacle that make it impossible for that action to happen.Altering the plug isn't too good of an idea, as the voltage demand of the appliance would be too heavy for the wiring.


Can you run 110 and 220 volt circuits in the same conduit?

Yes, 120 and 240 volts can be run in the same conduit.


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.


How do you hook a 220 volt treadmill to a 110 volt wall socket?

A 220 volt treadmill will not run on 110 volt power. if you would wire it to plug in, the low voltage would causes the treadmill to burn up. You will need to install a 220 volt receptacle for it to plug into and work properly. <<>> In the above answer the treadmill will not burn up but at these amperages it will make a very big flash if it shorted out. Also it must be some treadmill to draw 220 amps and I have never seen a 110 amp wall socket.


How do you wire a 220v dryer to run on 110?

You can't. A 220 volt dryer requires 220 volts in order to operate properly. It will not run on 110 volts.


Can i use a 220 volt ac in the basement to run branch circuits for 110 volt lighting?

Yes, you can use 220V to 110V step-down transformers for this purpose.


How many amp will reduced if voltage increases from 120 volt to 220 volt?

The voltage cannot just be increased in a circuit because there is a risk of damage, blown circuit breakers and/or fire. However an appliance desgined to run on 220 v will use 6/11ths of the current used by an identical appliance designed for 120 v.


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 run 440 volt appliances off a 220 volt supply?

The appliance should be marked with the correct voltage range, and the voltage applied must lie within this range. Otherwise it might be dangerous.
