temporary it blows or KABOOOMM....
What happens when 240 volt equipment is plugged into a 120 volt source or if 110 120 volt equipment is plugged into a 60 volt source assuming all alternating current?
When equipment is run at a lower voltage than it is designed for, it does not operate correctly. A light will glow dimly or not at all, a heater produces much less heat. Electronic equipment may not function at all.

Can a 110 volt device be plugged into a 125 volt outlet?
Yes, a 110 volt device can be plugged into a 125 volt receptacle. The voltage rating on the receptacle is only there as the highest voltage supply that the manufacturer recommends their equipment be connected to.
Can 220 volt be the source at the panel and 120 volt out from the panel?
No, the source voltage can not change to a lower voltage without using equipment to do so.
What will happen if 120 volt appliance is plugged into 220 volt outlet explain with electrical equiation?
If the supply voltage is Vs and the equipment voltage is Va, then the equipment will work if Va = Vs (equation). But if Vs / Va = 220 / 120 (equation) the equipment will fail.
What happens when 110 volt airbrush compresor TC 196 is plugged into a 240 volt source?
First, someone would have changed the plug before that would be possible. 240 Volt receptacles do not accept 120 Volt plugs. Second, IF someone changed the plug on the compressor, then plugged it in using both legs of the 240 Volt circuit, the compressor motor would self destruct instantly; internal wiring would burn and you would smell the burning insulation.
What happens when 110 volt 60 hz equipment is plugged into 220 volt 50 Hz AC outlets?
It might explode, it might blow the fuse, but it will not work properly. But laptop power supplies seem to work from 100 v to 240 v without any switching.
What happens when a 240 volt heater in plugged into a 110 outlet?
It'll only deliver 1/4 of the power.

What happens when a 2A 220 volt appliance is plugged into a 110 volt?
Not much of anything. The 220 volt appliance needs just that ... 220 volts in order to run. If it runs at all, it certainly would not be running at anywhere near peak efficiency.
