120 Volts and 115 Volts refer to the same thing in the US. Residential electricity is provided at 120 Volts from the utility. High current devices such as motors are often rated at less than the supplied voltage (such as 115 Volts) because it is expected that there is a small amount of voltage drop in the circuit feeding them. The National Electric Code allows a 5% drop in voltage from the electric service so a 5 Volt drop from 120 Volts is OK.
There is no problem with that voltage. As long as the voltage is plus or minus 5% of the nominal voltage of 115 volts it is considered to be in the 120 volt range. Even though there is only a 110 volt potential at the outlet it is still rated to a voltage of 120 volts maximum.
No problem.
You should have no problem as long as the pug fits into the outlet. Common house hold voltages range up to 120V.
Yes, the 115 volt rating on the plug is the maximum amount of voltage allowed on the plug and the 110 volts from the outlet is well under that maximum voltage.
Yes, no problem at all.
Do not do this.
Its not the appliance that needs modification but the electrical delivery. You need a converter/transformer or adapter to change the way power is fed to the appliance. See the link provided for more explanation.
Probably not, but I have yet to see a 150 volt appliance as this is a non-standard voltage. If you are referring to a 115 volt appliance then the answer is yes you can as 110/115/120 volts tend to be used interchangeably in practice and are close enough together to not affect operation of the appliance.
Only if it is rated for 110V-220V. If it is rated for 110V only and you plug it into a 220V outlet, your device will be destroyed.
No. the plug configuration is different, just for that reason so that the two voltages can not be crossed over.
Yes you can safely do this. Most appliances that are marked 115 volts will operate on outlet between 110 and 120 volts safely.
Yes
No. Attempting to run an appliance on insufficient voltage can cause damage to the appliance and can be dangerous. Call an electrician and get him to install a 220v plug
Yes, all wall receptacles are rated at 125 or 130 volts.
Do not do this.
For residential service 110V, 115V, 117V, 120V, and 125V are all functionally the same. Electric companies have been slowly increasing the line voltage over the last 100 years to cope with increased loads. That is where these different voltages come from. The tolerance is generally +/-10%. That's +/- 11.5 volts in this case. So, a 115VAC appliance will run between 103.5 and 126.5VAC. The short answer is yes. 110V appliances can work with up to 130V without being burnt, additionally, 220V appliances can work with up to 240V without being burnt.
If it's rated at 110 then you can safely plug it in to a residential outlet. But, because it is generating heat, it will be drawing substantial voltage so you should ensure that the appliance is on its own circuit; otherwise when someone else turns on a light, or plugs in another appliance, the circuit will overload and shut down.

You will burn up your appliance!!!!!
Only if it is rated for 110V-220V. If it is rated for 110V only and you plug it into a 220V outlet, your device will be destroyed.
