If it has 220V, there will be three wires from the power line to your electrical panel, two hot and one neutral. Measuring across the two hot leads, should give you 220V. Which countries use 220V? Typically, either 120-volt AC or 240-volt AC is used. Most countries use 50Hz (50 Hertz or 50 cycles per second) as their AC frequency.
The standard electric outlet in the United States is 120V and will be able to directly power fans that have 120V within its range such as 110V, 115V, and 120V AC fans. For example, a fan might state 220V on its label but it will be able to run on a 230V power source. Europe uses 230V as its standard for electricity.Oct 23, 2012. #4. erickench said: No. It would have to be a 240 Volt system. The reason why it's rated at 220 volts is because of the voltage drop in the branch circuit conductors. I will not say that is necessarily wrong, but I find it more common to see equipment (especially motor driven) rated for 230 volts with that being the likely reason
