There you are. If it's 220, it's 220, albeit the 50 Hz/60 Hz thing might be
of concern, depending on what's drawing the power. Heating element, no
worries. Induction Motor, it will run at 5/6 rated RPM, so might be a
concern.


Idiot. 60 Hz motors will overheat when used on 50 Hz. Transformers
will saturate, and draw more current.
