In North America, 220v, 230v, and 240v are all compatible with each other. This means you can plug a 230v appliance into a 220v outlet without worrying that you are creating a potential problem. However, this does not mean that huge voltage differences between a plug and an appliance are also acceptable.
The face of your plug indicates that it is not rated for voltages above 125V. You should not use that plug in a 220V application. You would be better off purchasing a new cable that is rated for 220V or greater. I think this cable or similar would be suitable for your power and voltage needs. In those cases, you can use a transformer to change the local voltage into the one your appliance expects, but I advise: don't. There are a lot of voltage transformers out there. None of them get Yes, it can be and there is no problem at all Because most of the electrical appliances are made to work on 220v - 240v so it can also be plugged into a 240v outlet. God_Of_Death. I've been doing a lot of google'ing on this and 90% of the answers say that I can plug a computer PSU into a 220v outlet as long as the PSU is auto sensing or if the red button is flicked from 110v to 220v. I am wondering if any [H]ard members have done this. With the hot weather already here, I find myself triping the breaker
To explain the voltages the manufacturer has chosen. The phase to phase voltage of a three phase supply is 3–√ 3 times the phase to neutral voltage. 220V × 3–√ ≈ 380V 220 V × 3 ≈ 380 V. 230V × 3–√ ≈ 400V 230 V × 3 ≈ 400 V. 240V × 3–√ ≈ 415V 240 V × 3 ≈ 415 V.
