You tell yourself the 125 volt receptacle is a 120 volt receptacle. They're the same thing.

Can you connect a 220 volt stove to a 120 volt circuit?

Yes, this is a safe connection. A range is usually wire rated at 40 amps and the manufactures do not make a 40 amp rated receptacle. The code requires the next highest rated receptacle be used which is a 50 amp rating. This is why the range receptacle is rated at 50 amps. This receptacle is known as a 3 pole 4 wire grounding receptacle, 14-50R 125/250 volt. Black wire to terminal X, red wire to terminal Y, white wire to terminal W and ground wire to terminal G.


Can you plug in a 125 volt 30 amp plug in a 120 volt 30 amp outlet?

No, it is not recommended to plug a 125 volt 30 amp plug into a 120 volt 30 amp outlet. The voltage difference may cause damage to the equipment and pose a safety hazard. It is important to use the correct voltage outlets for your devices.

Can a 125 volt cable power a 120 volt piece of equipment?

The first thing we have to do is clarify the question. A cable rating of 125 volts is an insulation rating of the wire. Like wire with ratings of 300 volts, 600 volts and 1000 volts these are the highest allowable voltages that can be applied. A wire that is rated for 300 volts is good for 120 volts, 240 volts and 277 volts. At test research facilities, equipment is tested to destruction. The label that is given to wire as a result of the tests is the highest safest voltages that can be applied to that particular wire. So when you see a wire that has a label stating that it is rated for 300 volts it means that any voltage under and up to 300 volts is safe to apply. So to answer the question yes, the 125 volt insulation rating on the cable can be used to supply a source of 120 volts to a 120 volt rated piece of equipment.
