This depends on where the power is coming from - and how you are measuring it.
If the power is coming from an auxiliary generator, the generator's motor is running too fast.
If the power is coming from the electrical company:
(a) You might be using a poorly calibrated meter to measure it (you are getting the wrong answer from the meter)
OR
(b) You have a true problem with your electrical power and need to get either the power company or an electrician in pronto to fix it.
If the voltage coming in to your house is TRULY 167 volts, you run the grave risk of damaging things connected to it.
What else can I help you with?
How do you convert 120 volt machine to 110 volt plug?
No conversion needed. These are nominal voltages which range from 110 to 120 volts. It will operate fine on the outlet.
Can you plug a 120 volt appliance to 110 volt outlet?
Yes, normally, assuming it's 60 cycle (hertz) AC. In the USA, 110 volts as such is no longer used, it's really 120 plus or minus about 5 volts everywhere.
Can you use 110 volt batteries charger here in Australia?
Not unless you have a 110 volt supply to plug it in to. The standard General Power Outlet in Australia is 240 volts AC at 50 Hertz.
How do you convert 110 volt outlet to 115 or is there an adapter?
There is no need to convert a 110-volt outlet to 115 volts as they are essentially the same. The slight variation is within the normal tolerance range for electrical systems. If you need to use a device that requires 115 volts, you can safely plug it into a 110-volt outlet without the need for an adapter.
Can you operate a 208 volt on 110 volt?
The United States is one of the only places in the world that uses 110 volts instead 220 volts. In order to operate 208 volts on a 110 volt electrical current, you will need a voltage converter.
Can you plug a V into a V?
can you plug a 115 volt into a 110 volt
How do you change 110 volt washer wall plug to 220 volt wall plug?
You don't. Voltages are a nominal rating. 110 volts is within the nominal range at this potential. The voltage centre line is 115 volts. Utility companies are mandated to keep voltages locked within 5% of a centre line voltage. This means that it could be as high as 115 + 5% = 120.75 volts and as low as 115 - 5% = 109.25 volts
Can you plug 110 volt appliance into 12 volt?
NO
Do they use 110 transformer boxes in Australia?
Not unless you have a 110 volt supply to plug it in to. The standard General Power Outlet in Australia is 240 volts AC at 50 Hertz.
What must be checked before using a 110-volt power plug on a portable welder?
If the plug is not specifically labeled 110 volts AC, check the owner's manual before using it for such devices as radios or other electronic equipment.

Can you plug in 110 volt appliance into a 125 volt outlet?
Yes.
