If you can find a 230V outlet! From a standard outlet, no, not
without a hefty voltage converter.

In north America the 220/230V is 3-phase!


Ahhh, no. Your home 220 is single phase. It's been a few decades since
I've even thought about this, but I seem to recall that about the only time
you'll see 3 phase is in industrial applications off a delta-Y
transformer..... But, I've been wrong before, no reason to stop now..
