In the US, Canada and other countries which use a similar 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. To get the actual figures for your locality it is best to ask a local licensed electrician or your local electricity supply company.

It is not recommended to plug a 125v appliance into a 110v outlet as the appliance may not function properly or could be damaged due to the difference in voltage. It is always best to use appliances with the correct voltage requirements to ensure safety and proper operation.

In USA, Canada and other countries which use a 60 hertz alternating current service the standard household electrical outlets for small appliances are 120 volts.
There are a lot of people who still use the phrases 110 volt, 115 volt when the outlets are actually 120 volt, and they still say 220 volt for the 240 volt outlets which are needed for high-power apliances such as clothes dryers, water heaters, etc.

∙ 12y agoYes, you can use an 110 volt appliance with a power cord. Power cords or extension cords are rated at 300 or 600 volts depending on the type and insulation ratings. You just have to remember that extension cords are for temporary applications only and are not meant to replace a hard wired permanent receptacle.

Can you plug in a 110v spa into a residential outlet?
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.
What happens if you plug a 120V appliance into a 240V outlet?
You will burn up your appliance!!!!!
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.
