What is the difference between 125V 15A fuse and 230V 15A fuse?

The voltage rating of a fuse (in this case 125V or 230V) defines the maximum circuit voltage that the fuse is safe to be used on. A fuse with a voltage rating of 125V should not be used in a circuit with a voltage greater than 125V. If a 125V fuse were installed in a 230V circuit and an overload current occurred, the fuse could explode.


Why are some house currents 130 volts instead of 120 volts?

It depends on the local utility power company and the the neighborhood transformer taps used. It also depends on how far away the transformer is from the house. There is a voltage drop depending on the size and length of wire. It sometimes is 120v, 125v, 130v or anywhere in between. It doesn't make much difference.


How do power cords differ?

Power cords have different voltage rate, example 7A/125V cord can hold much voltage than 3A/125V. The higher the current flow can melt the lower type of power cord that is dangerous and can cause fire. Base on my knowledge there are different types of power cords according to the ampere and voltage needed.


What is amperage limit of 14 gage solid copper wire?

ref: http://www.okonite.com/engineering/nec-ampacity-tables.html generally see the latest NEC (National Electrical Code) standard but from the tables with assumed temperatures, the rating for 14ga copper is 15 amps (120V).


On a 3 wire plug is the wider blade hot or neutral?

On a 3 wire plug (NEMA 5 configuration, 125v 2 pole 3 wire grounding) the narrow blade is the "hot" lead, the wide blade is the neutral lead, and the U shaped prong is the equipment grounding conductor (EGC). Most 2+G non-metallic-cables (NMC) are color coded for Black = "hot", White = neutral, and Bare = EGC

Is it ok to use a 120v light switch in place of a 125v light switch?

yes, as long as the wattage are almost the same which is similar to the same current

Can a 125V and 30 amp plug be used for a device that requires 24V and 50 amp?

No. If you plug something that needs 24 volt into a 120v socket you will probably ruin your device.

Can you use a 125v unnotched cable with a notched socket 120v ballast for your 1000 watt HID light fixture if you add a notch to the cord or remove the notch from the socket?

See discussion page for more.


Can you use 7amp 125V fuse replace 6.3amp 125V fuse?

no.. it could damage your electrical components.


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 3A 125v work with 250 V?

No it will not work.


Can you use a 1.5a 125V fuse to replace a 5a 125V fuse?

It depends on what you are powering with the circuit, but probably not. The 1.5 amp fuse would blow in normal operation of the device.
