That depends what circuit it is in. If it is in a sweep circuit (vertical/horizontal) no because it will change the frequency of the circuit. If it is in a power supply circuit, probably yes becuase it is probable only being used as a filter. BUT if that leg of the power circuit supplies a sweep circuit, no.
No, the pin configuration would not allow this to happen.
The point that you have 160V at a receptacle should be a serious concern before even attempting to plug any device in. And should be of immediate concern, a qualified electrician should diagnose the problem. The most common reason for such a high voltage present at a receptacle is a damaged or defective Neutral or common conductor (Grounded, Current Carrying Conductor), usually somewhere in the wiring. This should be addressed immediately.. Most devices are capable of operating within 5-10% of rated voltage, but always consult the manufactures literature on the safe operating range. As some devices have different requirements. Operation outside of these ranges is extremely unsafe, and can lead to fire & safety hazards.
Assuming a typical North American residential service, Voltages of 145VAC are possible when the Service Entrance (Source of Electrical supply) has lost its neutral (Grounded Current Carrying Conductor) Especially in older installations, the lose of the 'Neutral' can cause voltage to swing from 0vac to 160V (The highest I have ever seen personally). The reason the voltage 'floats' is because the system has lost it's neutral reference from the power company's transformer. The condition is very hazardous and can/will severely damage anything connected to the system. It is strongly recommended that you disconnect any devices and have a licensed electrician inspect your service entrance immediately. Typically the problem is customer equipment side, and you will be charged. In the event the power company equipment is responsible, they could be (possibly, varies depending on location and power company) responsible. In my personal experience, this condition is caused by either a poor connection at the weatherhead, or lose/corroded connections either in the meter base or in the main breaker panel. Typically, customers are responsible for their respective service entrances up to the weather head. Which is the mast and wires above the meter base, all the way to the connections in the drip loop.
