Can a 230 plug be spliced and replaced by a 220 plug and still work in your ac window unit?

In: Heating Ventilating and Air Conditioning, Home Electricity, Wiring and Electricity

When referring to 220/230/240 volts, the reference is to the nominal voltage. To be most proper, 240. A plug rated 220v or 230v or 240v should all be the same one. Different manufacturers use different versions of it, but they all generally mean 240 volts.

So yes, unless there is something actually different between the two plugs, the new one should work just fine.

If you do this work yourself, always turn off the power at the breaker box/fuse panel BEFORE you attempt to do any work AND always use a meter or voltage indicator
to insure the circuit is, in fact, de-energized.
