Will a television be damaged if the outlet is over the rated voltage?
While too high of a voltage can damage a television (or any electronics for that matter), chances are that your TV supports a range of voltages. Check the label on the back. Most modern TVs will work in the U.S. or Europe (110v to 240v).
Should an all-in-one scanner be plugged into the wall outlet?
No reason not to as long as the wall outlet is the correct voltage. most are designed to be plugged into a 110v outlet.
Why is 110v televisoin set damage when plugged into a 220v source?
Because it is designed for 120 volts. Internal voltages and current derived from the supply voltage are out of specification and will likely cause failed components that are not compatible with the higher voltage.
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.
Did you burn up your motor if you plugged in 220V to a 110V?

What happens if you plug a 110 volt television to a 220 volt outlet what will be damage first?
ouch. well it really depends. most likely it is going to cost more to fix the tv then to just buy a new one. usually when a board is overloaded extreme heat build in all of the transistors and resistors causing them to melt almost immediatly. usually melting metal arcs and short other nearby boards. sometimes the damage can spread to the vacume tube or the lcd screen (depeanding on what kind of tv you have). think of it like microwaving your tv. im sorry. but good luck.
Is it possible to hook up a 110V TV to a 220V outlet via a power converter?
Using a power converter, it is quite possible to run a 110V television on a 220V supply. The converter ensures that the television will only see 110V. However, the question implies that a television is being taken from one country to another. If that is the case, television signal standards vary throughout the world and RF tuners vary across the world. Although some televisions offer multi-standard operation, many do not. It is worth doing some extra research on the two countries in question before making a decision to ship a television anywhere.

What happens when you connect a 240 v lamp to 110 v outlet?
It is not uncommon to find ratings on appliances of 110v,115v,120v,125v depending on where it was manufactured. Typically these ratings allow a tolerance of + or- 10%, meaning an appliance with a 110v rating may be plugged into a source that provides between 99v and 121v.
What is the power consumtion of a light bulb that is plugged into a 110v outlet and is drawing 0.727 amp or current?
Power is calculated from volts time amps. 110V x 0.727A is 79.97 watts. Note that power is not "consumed" but rather converted to other forms of energy such as light and heat.
