The current that flows through is 10 Amp when it is plugged to 110V and 5 Amp when it plugged into 220V Construction wise, a wire that conducts electricity has to be thicker when it conducts higher AMPs. I.e. in countries that use 220V the electrical wires that bring the electricity home can be thinner and thus use less copper and cost less money.
Step 8. Attach the wiring to the outlet, by tighten each screw on the outlet down on the wires. Connect the black wire to the brass screw, the white wire to the silver screw, and the bare wire to the green screw. Line up the holes on the outlet with the holes on the electrical box and insert a screw into each one and tighten it down.
Where I live, my voltage reads around 122VAC most of the time. That would put the 220V outlet at 244VAC if he were to live near here. With European appliances, the problem is not the voltage. The European system uses 230V and the American system can supply 240V the difference is small enough to not be an issue.
