No, the rating on electrical devices is the maximum amount of voltage that is legally allowed on the device. This is usually established by the physical clearances between electrical potentials. The higher the voltage, the more space between live electrical components. This is controlled by using different pin configurations of plugs and receptacles for different voltages and amperages.

What do you do your ipod says very low battery?
You either plug it into your computer OR buy a charger that you plug into an outlet
If the electrical device says 100-240 v is it safe to plug a 110 device into a 220 outlet?
Only if it is rated for 110V-220V. If it is rated for 110V only and you plug it into a 220V outlet, your device will be destroyed.

Is an outlet plug that says gfci on it but doesn't have a reset button really a gfci outlet?
It depends. It could be improperly installed. Outlets can be GFI protected by using a GFI rated breaker in the main panel box. Look for a breaker in the panel box that has a push to test button on it. Press the push to test button then plug something into the outlet to see if it still works. If the breaker turns off the power then it is GFI protected. To reset it flip the breaker to the fully of position then back to the on position.
Where is the dip stick for a 1993 ford ranger transmission fluid located?
If it has a manual transmission then there is not a dip stick. To check the fluid level there are two plugs on the drivers side of the transmission. One says fill which higher than the other which says drain. Remove fill plug and insert finger into hole the fluid level should be just below the plug hole.
Can you convert an existing 120V plug on an appliance to a 240V plug not speaking of a converter but actually changing the plug so there are no long term effects on the appliance?
If I understand your question, Can you run a 110 appliance off of a 220 volt outlet? You could by only using one leg of the 220. You may also consider changing the outlet. Put in a regular 110 outlet and capping off one leg of the 220 in the wall box. You still have a neutral and a ground to work with. I read this as the questioner doesn't want to modify the outlet. Check the voltage ratings on the device. Many electronic devices nowadays can havdle 120V or 240V as it is cheaper to manufacture one powersupply and sell it everywhere. If your device is rated for 240V, you can put a 240V plug on it. If it only says 120V, no dice. 240V will burn it up.
What's being done wrong when the electric juicer keeps tripping the outlet?
Read your instruction manual. If it says "Do not plug into a plug with a ground fault circuit interrupter," you are plugging it into the wrong type of outlet. Otherwise and most probably, nothing is being done wrong when the electric juicer keeps tripping the outlet. The outlet is tripping due to a ground fault. That means there is a loose wire or bad wire in the electric juicer. The ground fault keeps tripping to keep you from getting electrocuted. If the juicer is new or still under warranty, you need to take it back. If it is not under warranty, you need to get it fixed or throw it away.
How do you earth a plug with 2 wires my heater says it must be earthed but came with a fitted plug and not earthed it has blown the plug twice any suggestions?
The heater has a three prong plug and the outlet has 2? If it has blown the fuse or circuit breaker, it is drawing more current than the circuit can handle. That is the purpose of the fuse. If you only have 2 prong outlets, it is probably mounted in a metal box that should be grounded. It may not be or it may be in a metal box but the box is not grounded. They make an adapter that has a tab you put behind the screw that is holding the outlet cover in place. Grounding the heater is not going to stop it from blowing the circuit. Try a different outlet, remove something that is on the same circuit or use a heavier fuse which is not always a good idea.

Depends on the PSU, the box on the cord. If it says 120-240 volts, then you can, but you also need an adapter as the outlet itself is different.
