No, we are all on the same electrical grid. As a matter of fact most of Canada's electrical power that is produced is consumed by the US.
If the plug fits. Single phase volts is volts. 20v less = 10% cooler. Hairdryer means something on your body is wet and electricity is near it so be aware of proper grounding.
USA and Canada run on 120 volt 60 cycles (60hz). So the answer is no. If you want it to work on 220 volts you have to have Voltage Converter.
Yes, just move the switch to the 250 volt position.
Short answer: YES, it can
The standard voltage is 120V
Yes.
The Compaq Presario requires the CQ60-615DX AC 90 watt adapter. This specific type of adapter can be purchased from Amazon for about $6.00 US Dollars.
Answer for USA, Canada and countries running a 60 Hz supply service.A voltage of 600 volts is not as prevalent in the US as it is in Canada. The US operates on 480 volts. These voltages are mostly used in commercial and industrial applications where large motors and large loads need to be connected. In Canada and the US there are no 600 volt residential service drops that I have heard of.All appliances for residential connections operate off of 120/240 volts in the single phase category and 120/208 volts in the three phase category.
True, 220 volt appliances consume less energy than 110 volt ones, but in order to use them in the US, you would need to convert them to 110 voltage. This is a less efficient use of energy. Plus, 220 volt appliances are a more risky because people can get seriously injured if they get shocked from them.
You can use US appliances, but only if you get an adaptor. The island uses 3-pin UK plugs and 240v electrical appliances.
china uses 220-240v, so any 110v appliances will need a converter, which can also be bought in china...AnswerChina uses 220 V @ 50 Hz, plugs A, I, or G (vs the US and Canada 120 V @ 60 Hz).
If you buy an adapter
Yes, but you need a converter that changes 220 to 110, if you plug it into a 110 plug. Of course, if you plug it into a 220 outlet you don't need a converter, but in either case you will need a plug adapter.
European two pin, a US adapter will work.
You can plug US appliances into plug sockets in the US. You can also plug them into sockets in Mexico, Canada and several other countries that use 110 to 120 volts mains electricity.
you need a wireless adapter
Probably not because all UK appliances work on 240 v while in the USA they work on either 120 v or 240 v. You need to check which voltage your power inverter works at.
I've imported a car and a motorcycle from the US into Canada. This is what I know about importing vehicles, and I think it's the same for appliances: It depends where it's made. If it's made in the US, there is no duty and you will pay GST/PST at the border. If it's not made in the US, then there is a 6.1% duty, then GST/PST. Hope this helps.
Hong Kong uses the same electrical output/sockets as the UK so US appliances will need an adaptor.
As of June 1st, 2009, you need a passport to travel from Canada to the US.

You don't. You need to be in the US.
If you are coming from anywhere in the US, sure. If you are coming from Europe- maybe not. Many euro appliances are meant to operate on 220-240 volt current, and US electricity is 120 v 60 Hz. You may be able to find an adapter for appliances, or just get another dryer in NY.
