Can you plug a 115V appliance into a 120V outlet?
For residential service 110V, 115V, 117V, 120V, and 125V are all functionally the same. Electric companies have been slowly increasing the line voltage over the last 100 years to cope with increased loads. That is where these different voltages come from. The tolerance is generally +/-10%. That's +/- 11.5 volts in this case. So, a 115VAC appliance will run between 103.5 and 126.5VAC. The short answer is yes. 110V appliances can work with up to 130V without being burnt, additionally, 220V appliances can work with up to 240V without being burnt.
Can you plug 110V appliance in a 100V outlet?
A previous member answered: "No. You will need a step up transformer to be able to use 110v appliances in 100v sockets." This is incorrect. In the US, the AC supplied to household outlets may be called 100, 110, 0r 120 Volts. These all refer to the U.S. nominal 110 Volt supply, which can range from as low as 95 volts and as high as 125 volts and most appliances labeled for 110 Volts may be used in the socket. Generally, if the plug fits, it's safe.
What appliances would you not plug into a gfci?

How do you change over so you can plug a 120V RV plug into a 240V single-phase twist-lock receptacle?
Is the 220V plug 220V only or 110/220V? (The former will have 3 prongs and the former will have 4) If your case is the latter just use the ground, neutral, and one of the hots. This will give you 120V single phase. If the case is the former you can't get 110V off that plug.
What adapters do you need to plug your 240V Ac plug into a 110V AC supply?
There are no adptors to plug a 240v plug into a 120v receptacle. 240v requires two hot wores and a neutral and ground. 120v requires one hot wire, a neutral and a ground. If you have something that runs on 240/120 you need the cord and adaptor that came with the equipment as you willl need the wires to mate up accordingly.
Can you plug a 115V appliance into a 110V outlet?

Can 110V appliances be used in 220V countries I have lighting and heating appliances which i bought while i was in the US. Now moved to India. Can i use these appliances directly with a 220V source.?
No, they will burn out. the wiring, motors and modules are built to run on and withstand 110v. There are rectifiers that you can buy to reduce the voltage to your appliances. Get ahold of a local electrician and explain the problem. I'm sure you'll be able to get some help. You can use 110v appliances in countries that use 220v, IF you have an adapter (step down transformer) ... you cannot plug them directly into the 220v source for several reasons: 1. The plugs won't match up as the power plug configurations are much different 2. The appliances will literally blow up of catch on fire if you exceed the voltage limit specified on their labels. If you have moved permanently to India and are staying there, it might be in your best interests to buy new appliances.

How do you hook up a 120V fan drawing 0.4 amps to a 110V circuit?
Try to be a little more specific and I'll try and help. Are you wanting to add a plug on it, or hard wire it. And what is the fans location or type of fan I guess.
How can you plug in 120V appliances such as a TV and VCR to an old 240V air-conditioning outlet with one white one black and one grounding?
At the breaker box the black and white will be on a double-pole breaker (or maybe even two separate breakers). To convert to 110V attach the black to a single pole 15 amp breaker, the white to the neutral bus bar (like all the other whites in there) and the ground to the grounding bar (like the other grounds). Then replace the receptacle with a regular 15amp 110V.
