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.
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 if you use a 120 Volt bulb where a 130 volt socket?
If your supply voltage is 120 volts the impact of switching from a 145 volt lamp to a 130 volt lamp would be, the 130 volt bulb would not have the same lifetime as a lamp operating on 145 volts. The upside would be that the light output would be greater. This is based on both of the lamps having the same wattage rating.
