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 115 volt 15 amp airconditioning unit to a 100 volt outlet?

I have never seen a 100 Volt rated outlet. Usually outlets would be rated for 110 to 120 volts for residential use, or maybe 150 volts. The rating is separate from what voltage the outlet is providing. If your outlet is supplying 100 volts, as measured by an accurate voltmeter, you have some problem in your wiring or a faulty outlet. If there is only 100 volts at the outlet get an electrician to diagnose the problem if you are not completely familiar with home wiring. In general you should never use an outlet that has a voltage or current rating less that the device will consume.


Can you plug a 110V appliance into a 115V outlet?

120 Volts and 115 Volts refer to the same thing in the US. Residential electricity is provided at 120 Volts from the utility. High current devices such as motors are often rated at less than the supplied voltage (such as 115 Volts) because it is expected that there is a small amount of voltage drop in the circuit feeding them. The National Electric Code allows a 5% drop in voltage from the electric service so a 5 Volt drop from 120 Volts is OK.


How do you convert 115AC to 12DC?

With a AC to DC converter. You'd need to use a 115 AC to 12 volt DC converter. Connect the wires from the item you want to convert to the 12 volt positive and negative on the front of the converter. Plug the converter into a wall outlet and then turn on the switch on the converter. 115 is going into the converter but 12 volts is coming out and into the item you wanted converted.
