yes , if you want to use 120 volt ac and you have the plug (Power cord ) which has rating 220v AC than you can use it on the 120 V sockets.But you should also mind the current rating of that plug neither it plug may damage or burn if current exceed from a maximum limit.

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.

When you say an outlet 220v 30a what does it means?

This is a special purpose outlet, likely for a dryer. Normally in a house electric panel you have 120 VAC as the normal and 220 or 240 as a higher voltage. The 30 A is for 30 Amps. You can only plug in an appliance that has those ratings. You can't plug in a 120 V device.

Can a plug a 125 volts extension cord in a 220 volt outlet to be used as a extension to plug 220 volts light amperage accessories?

No, the 220 v and 110 v systems are designed to use a different pin layout for the plugs and sockets, to avoid possibly dangerous cross-connections. The two voltages can not be mixed and equipment for one system cannot be used on the other without a transformer.


Do electric dryers require a 220 v plug?
