Question:

Can electric kettles be used in the United States?

Can I use the plug if I have it?

Answer:

Electric kettle can not be used in the United States, the United States voltage 120V, 60HZ. Don't take it. American appliances are also cheap. You can buy them over there.
You can use the switch plug, it may slow down a bit.Do not use voltage converter, general market voltage converter, power is very low, dozens of watts. Electric heating appliances power is very high, minimum also more than 200 watts, if the voltage converter power is not enough, it will burn, do not good, but also cause fire.
The civil voltage and frequency in the United States are 120V, 60 Hz. Voltage (voltage), also known as the potential or potential difference, is a measure of unit charge in electrostatic field due to physical quantity of the electric potential difference generated by the energy difference. Its size is equal to the unit positive charge due to the action of the electric field force from the A point to the B point of the work done, the direction of the voltage is specified from the high potential to the direction of low potential. The voltage of the international system of units is the volt (V, referred to as V), commonly used units and MV (mV), V (V), kV (kV) etc.. This concept is similar to the water pressure caused by the water level. It is necessary to point out that the word "voltage" is generally used only for the circuit, "potential" and "potential difference" is generally applied to all phenomena.
