110, 115 and 120 volts are a nominal figures in the same voltage range. It is brought about by the power company, as they have a responsibility to keep voltages within a certain 10% range. The load will only notice a difference of 1% on the load current. eg. Wattage load of 2400. Amps = watts/volts. 2400/110V = 21.8 amps. 2400/115 = 20.86. 2400/120V = 20 amps. On a constant resistance as the voltage goes lower, the current goes higher and vise versa as the voltage goes higher, the current goes lower.

Can 110 volt be used for 115 volt?
Yes - usually house voltage varies from 110 to 120 volts.
Will a 115 volt converter from 240 volts harm a 110 - 120 volt appliance?
The appliaance is designed for 110-120 v so if it is fed at 115 v that is quite OK.
Which contact is bigger on a 110 volt plug?
on a standard 110-120 volt recptical the larger contact is the neutrial (white)side the smaller contact is the "hot" side
Can you plug in 120 volt cord into a 110 charger?
Equipment works over a range of voltage and should be interchangeable between 110 v and 120 v so the answer is yes.
Is a 110 volt electric receptacle the same as 120 volt receptacle?
Yes, the rating on the receptacle is the maximum amount of voltage that is legally allowed to be applied to the device.
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.
What voltage can not use to a 110 socket?
Only use 110-120 volt appliances on a 110 volt socket.
What if you plugged in a 110 volt in a 120 volt?
Typically residential voltage may range from 110 to 120 volts so there should be no problem.
Will 120 volt equipment work on a 110 volt transformer?
Yes.
Can 110 volt be used for 115 volt?
Yes - usually house voltage varies from 110 to 120 volts.
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 115 volt be used in 110 plug?
115 Volt and a 110 Volt can be treated as the same thing. The electrical voltage supplied from your electric company is not exact and can be 120 Volt + or - 10%.
Will a 115 volt converter from 240 volts harm a 110 - 120 volt appliance?
The appliaance is designed for 110-120 v so if it is fed at 115 v that is quite OK.
Can a 120 hair dryer work with a 110 outlet?
Yes - a hair-dryer rated at 120 volts will work in a 110 volt outlet.
What happens when 220 volt equipment is plugged into a 110 volt source or if 110 120 volt equipment is plugged into a 60 volt source assuming all alternating current?
temporary it blows or KABOOOMM....
Can you use a 120 volt appliance in a 110 volt house?
Yes, the two voltages are in the same voltage range.
Which contact is bigger on a 110 volt plug?
on a standard 110-120 volt recptical the larger contact is the neutrial (white)side the smaller contact is the "hot" side
