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.

Can you use a 130 volt light bulb in a 120 volt socket?
Yes, the 130 volts you read on the bulb is just the maximum it will handle. It will work perfectly in a 120 volt circuit.
Can you use a 130 volt swimming pool light bulb in a 120 volt swimming pool socket?
Yes, the 130 volts you read on the bulb is the maximum it will handle. It will work perfectly on a 120 volt circuit and will actually last longer than a standard 120 volt bulb.
Can you use a 120 volt bulb in a 130 volt socket?
Can you use a 120 volt bulb in a 130 volt socket?
An alarm clock draws 0.5 a of current when connected to a 120 volt circuit calculate its resistance?
240 ohms
A 120 ohm resistor a 60 ohm resistor and a 40 ohm resistor are connected in parallel to a 120 volt power source. What is the current running through the entire circuit?
6
Can you use a 120 volt appliance in a 110 volt house?
Yes, the two voltages are in the same voltage range.
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.
Does a 6 amp 240 volt appliance hook up to 110?
No, a 240 volt device runs on 240, and a 120 volt device runs on 120. Attempting to run a device on incompatible voltage results in damage.
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.
Which will do less damage between plugging a 110-volts appliance into a 220-volts circuit or plugging a 220-volts appliance into a 110-volt circuit?
You will have trouble plugging a 220 volt appliance into a 110 volt outlet because both have different polarities for the plug and receptacle that make it impossible for that action to happen.Altering the plug isn't too good of an idea, as the voltage demand of the appliance would be too heavy for the wiring.
Does the NEC code allow a 120 volt receptacle located behind a gas range to be supplied by a small appliance circuit?
Yes
How many amp will reduced if voltage increases from 120 volt to 220 volt?
The voltage cannot just be increased in a circuit because there is a risk of damage, blown circuit breakers and/or fire. However an appliance desgined to run on 220 v will use 6/11ths of the current used by an identical appliance designed for 120 v.
Can you plug in a 150V appliance into a 110V outlet?
Probably not, but I have yet to see a 150 volt appliance as this is a non-standard voltage. If you are referring to a 115 volt appliance then the answer is yes you can as 110/115/120 volts tend to be used interchangeably in practice and are close enough together to not affect operation of the appliance.
Can you plug a 240 volt appliance into a 110 volt system?
The pin configuration of the 240 volt receptacle is different from a 120 volt pin configuration. This is a safety factor to prevent the wrong voltage being applied to the wrong devices.
Can 115 volt appliance be plugged into Canadian household outlet?
Yes. All Canadian regular household outlets work at 110-120 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.
