Can all the outlets in an apartment be converted to 220 volts? 每個房屋的插座都可以改220電壓嗎?

Not every household outlet in Taiwan can be converted to a 220-volt system. Whether conversion is possible depends on several factors, including the room’s electrical wiring and the configuration of the outlets. Below are some general considerations:

Dedicated circuit:
If the outlet is on a dedicated circuit, it is usually easier to convert it to 220 volts. Such outlets are designed for specific purposes and are not affected by other electrical devices.

General circuit:
If multiple outlets are connected in series and share the same circuit, changing the voltage of one outlet may affect the others. A professional electrician must evaluate whether conversion is feasible.

Existing electrical system:
Whether your current electrical system can support 220 volts is also a key factor. Some older buildings may require an upgrade of the electrical system before 220 volts can be used.

Changing the voltage of household outlets is a complex task that should be evaluated and performed by a licensed electrician to ensure safety and compliance with local regulations. You should never attempt to modify outlet voltage on your own, as doing so may pose safety risks and violate electrical codes.

For example, if a room has four or more outlets connected in series, all of them must be converted to 220 volts together — you cannot change only one or two outlets to 220 volts while leaving the others at 110 volts.

不是每間房屋的插座都可以改成220伏特電壓。可以改成220伏特取決於以下幾個因素,包括房間的電力配線、插座的配置。以下是一些一般情況下的考慮因素:

  1. 專用迴路:若插座位於專用電路上,通常較容易轉換成220伏特。這些插座是為特定用途而設計的,因此不會受到其他電器設備的影響。
  2. 一般迴路:若多個插座串聯在一起,共用同一電路,改變其中一個插座的電壓可能會影響到其他插座。這需要專業水電工師的評估,確定是否可以改變。
  3. 現有電力系統:您的現有電力系統是否能夠支持220伏特電壓也是一個關鍵因素。有些老建築可能需要升級電力系統才能使用220伏特。

更改房屋的插座電壓是一項複雜的工程,應當由專業的水電工師來評估,確保操作安全且符合當地法規。不應輕易嘗試自行修改插座的電壓,因為這可能對安全和法規合規性造成風險。

比如一個房間如有4個以上的插座串連在一起,要改220伏時,必需4個插座都一起改為220伏,不可只改一或二個插座。
