If the electrical device says 100-240 v is it safe to plug a 110 device into a 220 outlet?
Only if it is rated for 110V-220V. If it is rated for 110V only and you plug it into a 220V outlet, your device will be destroyed.
Can you use a 220v outlet to plug a 110v electronic device into?
You cannot directly plug a 110v device into a 220v outlet. This can cause damage to the device or even create a safety hazard. You would need a voltage converter or transformer to safely convert the 220v outlet to the appropriate voltage for the 110v device.
120V gas Kenmore dryer and the hook up location has the big 240V female receptacle--what is easiest solution thanks?
The easiest solution is to leave the 220V original outlet alone and plug the 110V dryer into a close 110V outlet, most likely the one for the washer. There should be nearby 110V outlets so you don't have to muck with rewiring the 220V outlet. A short heavy-duty extension cord is an option. I would also recommend killing the power to the old dryer outlet if it is unused. It cannot hurt. If you cannot plug the dryer into a nearby 110V outlet you can derate the 220V outlet down to a dedicated 110V outlet. This is not a task to be taken lightly if you are not experienced. If you do take this course of action yourself, buy a book. Do it right or don't do it at all. Negligence could kill someone.
Why is 220 volts the main voltage in the Philippines?
1) Possible... You can buy a converter in any electrical supplies store. Plug in your appliance(s) in this converter then plug the converter into your 220V outlet. 2) Most of the Automatic Voltage Regulator has a 110V outlet. Plug in your appliance in this outlet and plug in the AVR in the 220V outlet. Hope I help you
Can you plug a power-bar on a 220V to 110V converter?
The power-bar must be plugged into the correct voltage it was designed for.

Can you plug a 220v deep fryer into a 110v outlet?
No. Attempting to run an appliance on insufficient voltage can cause damage to the appliance and can be dangerous. Call an electrician and get him to install a 220v plug

How do you wire a 110v supply for 220v heaters?
A 220v heater has two 110v lines coming into it--either two 110v lines with a neutral, like a range, or two 110v lines with no neutral, like a water heater. Unless there's a fan in the system, they only use two wires. It's cheaper that way. If you have a DEDICATED circuit for each 220v heater--one where there's only one thing on the breaker--and you have at least 10/2 wire (unless the amps call for 8/2 or 6/2 wiring, which happens), you can install a two-pole breaker to feed 220v to the heater. If you're just trying to plug the heater into an outlet and get it to work, you've got a problem in that you can't pull 220v out of a 110v outlet no matter how hard you try. Sorry.
Can you plug a 125v appliance into 110v car outlet?
Yes
Can 100v charger work on 220v?
If I understand correctly, and I may not, you should never plug anything built for 110v (American) electrical sockets into an outlet designed for 220v appliances (found in much of Europe and some of South America). You need an adapter, otherwise things might get spicy.
