Hello. While I do not have an answer for you, I am currently seeking the same. I would like to plug two kilns into one outlet, though certainly not to fire both at once,
as each kiln should run on it's own circuit.
Rather I would like to eliminate the need to unplug one and then plug in the other in order to fire twice in one day.
I'll keep looking, and hope to have an answer for both of us.
:-)

∙ 12y agoNo, the plugs for the different voltages are different shapes.
Unless it was purpose-designed up-front to operate on the most common "international range of voltages", 110V to 240V, a 115V appliance will usually be destroyed by 220V.
When traveling, the main 220V outlet worldwide is the Europlug, a circular plug with two pin prongs and sometimes a ground pin. (Australia, for example, is a 230V country that has its own plug. Another is the UK with a totally different plug.) To plug in small appliances - like a phone charger - a multi-plug converter from Radio Shack or any number of travel shops will do the job of converting the US plug to suit the socket outlets in each country you visit.
Larger portable appliances (such as hair dryers) are now available to run on either 110-120V or 220-240V by selecting the right voltage using a simple switch on the side of the appliance.

∙ 9y agoNo, you cannot plug a 220 vac appliance into a 120 vac outlet: the plug and receptacle shapes are not the same. If you could plug a 220 vac device into a 120 vac outlet, it could seriously heat up the device or otherwise result in failure.

Can i get 220 volt out of 120volt outlet?
No. It would have to be wired for 220 volts and would have to be rated for 220 volts and would have a different configuration so that a typical 120 v plug wouldn't fit the outlet.
Can you plug your 120v magic bullet blender to a 220 outlet?
No, in North America the plug configuration will not allow that to happen. The blade configuration for 120 volts are in parallel where as the 220 volt configuration are in tandem.
Why is it that the outlet shows 209 volts instead of 120 volts?
Because it is a 220 volt outlet instead of a 120 volt outlet. Now, if this is a standard 120 volt outlet that is reading 209 volts then someone has made a mistake in the wiring. You need to call an electrician to straighten this out.
Can you plug the norelco 905rx into 220 volt outlet?
You sure can. It will run a little faster.
Can you plug a 220 volt lamp into a 110 volt outlet?
No, the plugs are different to prevent this and even if you could the lamp would be very dim.

You sure can. It will run a little faster.
What remedy can you do if you plugged the 120 volt to 220 volt battery charger?
There is no remedy but to plug it into a 230 circut.
What is the electricity that commonly comes from a wall outlet?
Alternating current. 120 volt in North America, 220 volt in the rest of the world.

No, the plugs are different to prevent this and even if you could the lamp would be very dim.
Can you plug a 100 volt power tool into a 110 volt outlet?
Never heard of a power tool that runs on 100 volts AC. It would have to be 108 to 120 volts or 220 to 240 volts. It will work on the 120 volt outlet if is it 60 hertz in the U.S. or 50 Hrtz in some other countries. If it is 50 Hrtz then do not use it in the U.S. without a converter.
