The two voltages are a nominal figure. The lower range of voltages can go from 110 to 120 volts. All equipment rated within the ranges from 110 to 120 volts are all compatible with each other. This ten volt range 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. e.g. Wattage load of 2400. Amps = watts/volts. 2400/110V = 21 amps. 2400/120V = 20 amps. On a constant resistance as the voltage goes lower, the current goes higher and vice versa as the voltage goes higher, the current goes lower.

Can you plug a V into a V?
can you plug a 115 volt into a 110 volt
How do you convert a 110 volts into 220 volts in a digital alarm clock with a plug in option?
You need a 110 v to 220 v transformer, which will be inexpensive for supplying an alarm clock. That steps up the 110 v suppy into 220 v for the clock.
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.
Can you plug the 110 - 240V tv to 220 V?
Yes, because 220 is in the range between 110 and 240, as indicated on the label. If it were to say, 110/240, that might be a different question.
Can you plug a 115V fan into a 220V outlet?
No. the plug configuration is different, just for that reason so that the two voltages can not be crossed over.
What voltage should you set your computer in the us?
In the U.S. you should be using 110-115V.
Can you plug a V into a V?
can you plug a 115 volt into a 110 volt
How can you change a 110 v three way plug to a 110 v two way?
Please clarify what you mean to ask.
Can you plug a 115V appliance into a 110V outlet?
Yes you can safely do this. Most appliances that are marked 115 volts will operate on outlet between 110 and 120 volts safely.
Do you need a 110 v power strip to plug into 110 v outlet?
Nominally 110 to 120 volt power strip is okay to connect to a standard outlet.
If you plug a toaster rated at 110-v into a 220-v outlet current in the toaster will be?

Can a 125 V replace a 115V GFI?
Yes.

Equipment works over a range of voltage and should be interchangeable between 110 v and 120 v so the answer is yes.
When you have 4x110 volt plug can you use 3x120 volt?
If you have a quadruple 110 v socket, it can be replaced by a triple 120 v socket.
Can you plug the 110 - 240V tv to 220 V?
Yes, because 220 is in the range between 110 and 240, as indicated on the label. If it were to say, 110/240, that might be a different question.
Can you change 32 amp 110v plug to a 16 amp 110 v plug?
Provided the equipment draws less than 16 amps it can be supplied from a 16 A plug.
