Yes you can, as long as they have the nearly the same output voltage it doesn't really matter. It is even more important to check three other things:
* that the amperage (current) drawn by the appliance is not greater than the rated output amperage shown on the transformer's label or rating plate;
* that the transformer or power supply unit produces an output that is the same kind as that required by the appliance. For instance, if the appliance requires a dc (direct current) supply it will not work on a power supply unit producing only ac (alternating current);
* if the power supply produces a dc output, be sure to check that the polarity ("+" and "-") of the power supply plug's inner and outer connections matches exactly what the appliance requires. If they are the wrong way round the appliance may not work or could even be damaged.
If you have them, it is best to check the rating plates of both the original power supply unit and the other one you are thinking of using, as well as the appliance's user handbook, to see exactly what voltage (ac or dc) and what amperage is required.

Can you plug in a 150V appliance into a 110V outlet?
Probably not, but I have yet to see a 150 volt appliance as this is a non-standard voltage. If you are referring to a 115 volt appliance then the answer is yes you can as 110/115/120 volts tend to be used interchangeably in practice and are close enough together to not affect operation of the appliance.
What will consume more wattage - a 110 volt appliance drawing 10 amps or a 220 volt appliance drawing 8 amps?
The equation for wattage is W = A x V. Substitute your values into this equation and you will have your answer.
What size of cable wire used for 500 kva transformer 240 volt 3 phase?
A 10 mm cable is most commonly used for a 500 KVA transformer, 240 volt, 3 phrase. The size of the wire that is used in a transformer is based on the voltage.
Does an 180 volt appliance require 240 volt supply?
No, it requires a 180 Volt supply. Most appliances work +/- 10%, in this case 162 Volts to 198 Volts. I would question whether your appliance is really 180 Volt. No country uses this as domestic supply, it is usually 110V or 220-240V.
I have ten 12 volt 10 watt lights what transformer do you need?
To power ten 12 volt 10 watt lights, you would need a transformer with a total output of at least 120 volts and 100 watts.
What is the breaker size for a 10 KVA electric heater?
What size breakers are needed for a 30kva transformer 208 volt feed 600 volt out put
Can you replace a 5 volt power supply with a 10 volt power supply?
If the power supply has a 5 volt tap on the secondary side of the transformer, yes. If there is no tap and the secondary side of the power supply is only 10 volts then no, you can not substitute the higher voltage unit.
Can you step up 12 volts AC TO 120 volts AC?
Yes this can be done with a step up transformer. Keep in mind that it is a 10 : 1 ratio. For every 1 amp that you want out of the 120 volt secondary there will have to be 10 amp input on the primary. This can lead to a very big wire size on the primary coil.
How do you reduce 14 volt DC to 10 volt DC?
Use a properly rated potentiometer.
Can you use a 10 volt power supply for a 9 volt keyboard?
Using a 10 volt power supply for a 9 volt keyboard is not a good idea. The higher voltage will cause damage to the keyboard, burning it out and making it useless.
If a 120v transformer has 200 turns the secondary winding has 20 turns what is the secondary winding voltage?
The ratio of AC voltages is the same as the ratio of winding-turns in the transformer. Vp / Vs = Np / Ns (10 volts AC) / Vs = 200 / 20 = 10 Vs = (10 volts AC) / 10 = 1 volt AC.
Can I use a 10 amp 125 volt power cord on my computer's 6 amp 125 volt input?
Sure
