Yes, no problem at all going to a larger ampacity of wire. Larger size wire yes, smaller size wire no.

Can I use a 10 amp 125 volt power cord on my computer's 6 amp 125 volt input?
Sure
Would a 125 volt cord work with a 115 volt compressor?
Yes. The cord only transmits the power. Whatever that goes in is what comes out.
Can you replace a 10 amp 125 volt extension cord with a 10 amp 250 volt extension cord?
Yes the rated voltage is a maximum. A 250 v cord might be slightly thicker than one for 125 v. <<>> The voltage rating of an electrical extension cord is the insulation factor of the cord. These cords come in two insulation ratings, 300 volts and 600 volts. If the voltage rating is within the parameters of the cord maximums then it is safe to use it on that voltage. The amperage of the cord is based on the wire size of the cord's conductor. The rating of 10 amps will fall within the #14 cord size. Remember the longer the cord the larger the wire size should be to prevent voltage drop at the connected load end.
Will it work if you replace a 1.25 amp 125 volt fuse with a 1 amp 250 volt fuse?
Yes you can do that as long as it will fit in the fuseholder. It is acceptable to replace a lower Voltage Rated fuse with a higher but NEVER replace a higher with a lower. There are several things to consider when replacing a fuse: 1) The minimum voltage rating of the fuse is equal to or higher than the voltage of the circuit you are placing it in 2) The Amperage rating of the fuse does not exceed the capacity of the circuit you are trying to protect. Always replace a fuse with one that has the same amperage rating. 3) The interrupting rating of the fuse is sufficent for the capacity of the circuit supplying the fuse. If replacing a fuse always use one with an interrupting capacity equal to or greater than the fuse you are replacing.
How do you wire a 3 wire appliance to a L-1420 plug?
A L14-20p is a 125/250 volt twist lock plug. I have never seen them used on appliances in the home. You may have the wrong plug for the appliance. See Discuss Question.
Can you plug in 110 volt appliance into a 125 volt outlet?
Yes.
Can you replace a 7 amp 125 volt power cord with a 3 amp 125 volt power cord?
If the device you are powering requires 7 amps of power, then no. You will need to find a replacement cord with 7 amps. Check the power input requirements of the device to find out.

Can a 125v cord be used with a 120v appliance?
Yes and no. The voltage rating of the cord and appliance are compatible, so that's not an issue. However, the cord must be thick enough to handle the maximum load the appliance will draw (amperage). Thicker cords (lower wire gauge) can handle more current. Running high draw 120V appliances, such as toasters, microwaves, window AC units and especially hair dryers on extension cords or undersized wiring is a serious fire and shock risk. Special heavy duty appliance cords (usually 10 gauge wire and <10' long) are available for 120V applications at most hardware stores. Ideally, the cord would be hard wired into the appliance, and not be excessive in length. The ground pathway, if applicable, should be maintained as well.
Will 2.0 250 volt replace a 1.6 125 volt?
You need to define what you mean by 2.0 and 1.6.

How do you convert a 125 volt to a 120 volt receptacle?
You tell yourself the 125 volt receptacle is a 120 volt receptacle. They're the same thing.

Can I Replace 2.5 volt Christmas bulb with 3.5 volt bulb?
NO! There are 50 bulbs in a 2.5 volt string or 125 volts. There are 35 bulbs in a 3.5 volt string or 122.5 volts. If you put 50 3.5 volt bulbs in you will have 175 volts and most american house have 110 volt service so you will have dim bulbs.
Can a 110 volt device be plugged into a 125 volt outlet?
Yes, a 110 volt device can be plugged into a 125 volt receptacle. The voltage rating on the receptacle is only there as the highest voltage supply that the manufacturer recommends their equipment be connected to.
