Yes, you switch to 250 and operate the hair dryer on low speed (not the converter which you don't need). I've used multiple dual voltage hair dryers in Europe and they work better on low. You will
Electric dryers are 240V. The plug will say 250V because voltages fluctuate depending on the utility provided to your house. Normal power in a house is 230V-250V. Hopefully that clears up that point of confusion. The biggest thing to worry about is if the plug is a 3 prong or 4 prong, and to make sure that the cord on the dryer matches.
State Electrical Inspector (Retired) Jul 22, 2020. #3. I see a problem in that a 50 amp 240v plug (5-50R) is only 3HP rated and 430.109 requires cord & plug disconnecting be HP rated equal to the motor. (Is it possible you could post a picture of the nameplate.. 22A for a 5HP does not match NEC Tables)
The outlet will be rated at 250V, this does not mean you'll actually have 250V at the receptacle. In the US one might say 110V, 120V, 220V or 240V, but they are talking about exactly the same thing since US residential single phase power will range from 110V-125V / 220V-250V. All devices will be rated at the max 125V / 250V. –First, you'll need to make sure that your hair dryer or straightener is dual voltage - many are. Just check the label and look for INPUT AC 120V - 240V (or a variation of that) or a switch that can be set to 125V or 250V. If that’s there, then you’re set and can move on to step #2. If your hair dryer is 120V or 125V only then it will not

Electrical - AC & DC - Using a 240v generator with four prong plug on well pump using 3 wires - I want to use a 240v generator occasionally during a power outage but the 240v wire coming from the breakerbox (from 2 poles 20amp) is 3 wire (black,white,ground) and the Nema L14-30 4 prong uses 4 wires.
Fuses are designed to protect over-current, not over-voltage. Therefore as long as the fuse amperage is sized appropriately and as long as your fuse voltage meets or exceeds your application voltage the fuse will safely protect. So, its ok to replace with 250V/4A ? pcb. protection. The original cord that plugs into my laptop power brick is rated 2.5A 125V. I've only been able to find a replacement cord online rated 2.5A 250V. Is it safe to use the 250V replacement even though the voltage is double? The brick input is 100-240V 1.6A 50/60Hz. Further detail, if needed, the brick output is 15.0V—4.0A 60.0W, 5.0V—1.0A 5.0W BTU Capacity. A 115-volt air conditioner will supply less cooling power than a 230-volt unit. Cooling is calculated in British Thermal Units, or BTUs as they are commonly abbreviated. Typically, the highest amount of BTU cooling power supplied by a 115-volt unit is about 12,000, while a 230-volt unit can supply up to 24,000 BTUs of cooling.
