To get the actual household voltage range figures for your locality it is best to ask a local licensed electrician or your local electricity supply company. As long as your appliance has a rating plate, user guide - or has similar information printed on its body - which says it was designed to run on a range of voltages from 120 to 240 volts ac, you can plug it in.
In the US, Canada and other countries which use a similar 60 Hz alternating current system, circuits for lighting and low-power appliances run at 120 volts plus or minus 10%, in which case the voltage range could be from 108 Volts to 132 Volts.
In countries in Europe and other world areas which use 230 volts 50 Hz alternating current system, circuits for lighting and low-power appliances now run at 230 volts plus 10% or minus 6%.
Thus the mains supply voltage will remain within standards even if it varies between an upper limit of 253 volts and a lower limit of 216.2 volts.

Can you plug in a 150V appliance into a 110V outlet?
No, it is not safe to plug a 150V appliance into a 110V outlet. The appliance may not function properly and could potentially be damaged. Additionally, there is a risk of electrical hazards or fire due to the voltage mismatch.
Can you plug 120 volt appliances into 127 volt outlet?
because your appliance is connected to the L1(secondary coil1) and your meter reading voltage is on the other coil (secondary2) It is called Mutual Induction ! Between the 2 coils on the secondary side of TRANSFORMER I wish i could draw it out
What would happen if 12 volt only appliance was plugged into 120 volt outlet?
If a 12 volt appliance is connected to a 120 volt outlet, it would likely get damaged due to the excessive voltage. The appliance is designed to run on 12 volts, so the higher voltage could overwhelm and fry its electrical components. It's important to always match the voltage requirements of an appliance with the electrical supply to prevent damage.
Can you plug 120 vac to 240 watts?
'Voltage' is electromotive force, and the 'Watt' is a unit of power. You can plug a 240 watt appliance (light, toy, radio etc) into a 120 volt socket as long as the appliance is rated for 120 volt AC operation.
Can you plug an 120V appliance in a 110V outlet?
Yes, it is generally safe to plug a 120V appliance into a 110V outlet. The slight difference in voltage should not cause significant issues. However, there may be a slight decrease in performance or efficiency of the appliance.

Can you plug a 120 volt appliance to 110 volt outlet?
Yes, normally, assuming it's 60 cycle (hertz) AC. In the USA, 110 volts as such is no longer used, it's really 120 plus or minus about 5 volts everywhere.

Can you plug a 120 Volt 30 Amp tanning bed into a 125 Volt 30 Amp outlet?
yes
Can you plug an 120V appliance in a 110V outlet?
Yes, it is generally safe to plug a 120V appliance into a 110V outlet. The slight difference in voltage should not cause significant issues. However, there may be a slight decrease in performance or efficiency of the appliance.
Can you plug a 115 volt 15 amp airconditioning unit to a 100 volt outlet?
I have never seen a 100 Volt rated outlet. Usually outlets would be rated for 110 to 120 volts for residential use, or maybe 150 volts. The rating is separate from what voltage the outlet is providing. If your outlet is supplying 100 volts, as measured by an accurate voltmeter, you have some problem in your wiring or a faulty outlet. If there is only 100 volts at the outlet get an electrician to diagnose the problem if you are not completely familiar with home wiring. In general you should never use an outlet that has a voltage or current rating less that the device will consume.
How can you plug in a 120 volt 1500 watt space heater in Korea?
Take the plug in your hand, and insert the plug into the wall outlet.
How do you convert 120 volt machine to 110 volt plug?
No conversion needed. These are nominal voltages which range from 110 to 120 volts. It will operate fine on the outlet.
Can a 120 volt appliance run on a 110 volt circuit?
Yes. Circuits in a home are 120 volts but people tend to call them 110 volt circuits. The 120 volts you read on the appliance is the maximum voltage the appliance can handle. The actual voltage you will read at any outlet will range from 110 to 120 volts.
How can you wire a 110V plug outlet from a 240V plug outlet not speaking of a converter but actually changing the plug outlet so that there are no long term effects on the 120V appliance?
Assuming the wiring to the outlet has 2 loads and one neutral, isolate one load from the outlet and use the neutral as the common. be sure to ground from the receptacle to your conduit or ground lead. You should also replace the corresponding breaker with a 120 volt single breaker.
