Yes, but it may draw too much current for the circuit. If it's a 15 amp circuit and the welder draws 17 amps, it won't work. Voltage is only a part of the puzzle.

∙ 11y agoI would say yes.. household power in the US is 110 to 120V depending on location from sub station most devices are set up to operate anywhere in this range

Do you need a special plug for a 120 volt 20 amp circuit?
No.
Can you plug 120 vac to 240 watts?
'Voltage' is electromotive force, and the 'Watt' is a unit of power. You can plug a 240 watt appliance (light, toy, radio etc) into a 120 volt socket as long as the appliance is rated for 120 volt AC operation.
Can you soft wire an electric water heater and plug it into a household outlet?
If it does not come with a plug on it, no. If it is made for direct wire, then 99.9% chance is that it is a 240 volt unit. If you plug it into a 120 volt outlet your water will barely get warm.
Can you plug in a 125 volt 30 amp plug in a 120 volt 30 amp outlet?
If the plug fits you are good to go. The typical range of residential voltage is from 110 to 125 VAC. You are fine within this range.
Can 120V cloth iron be used in 240V?
The answer is No for an iron that was sold only for use in US, Canada or other countries using similar household AC power supplies. Unless the iron has a switch on it, to allow it to be used safely in countries which use 220-240 volts as the standard household supply, a 120 Volt iron must only be used on the 120 Volt power supply that it was designed to use. If it does not have a switch to convert its voltage, it is highly dangerous to try to use a 120 Volt iron on 240 volts. If a fuse or breaker did not trip to break the power supply the iron and/or its flex would overheat so much that they would probably catch on fire - not only would that ruin the iron, it would be dangerous to you and your home! If you change the iron's US-type 120 Volt plug to a US-type 240 volt plug, the results would be much more dangerous because a 240 Volt circuit has breakers designed to allow a high current draw - such as for a kitchen range or a clothes drier - and those breakers may not trip to cut off the current if you could just plug in a 120 Volt iron without first changing its plug. That is why the iron has a 120 Volt plug and not a 240 volt plug!
How do you check the 120 volt plug on 1994 diesel club wagon?
Use a volt meter Plug a 120 volt accessory into it
Can a 120volt hot tub be plugged into a 110volt?
Yes 110/120 volt is typical house current in North America
What remedy can you do if you plugged the 120 volt to 220 volt battery charger?
There is no remedy but to plug it into a 230 circut.
Do you need a special plug for a 120 volt 20 amp circuit?
No.
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 30 Amp tanning bed into a 125 Volt 30 Amp outlet?
yes
Can you plug a 120 volts 60 Hz into 250 Volt wall socket?
NO

How can you plug in a 120 volt 1500 watt space heater in Korea?
Take the plug in your hand, and insert the plug into the wall outlet.
When you have 4x110 volt plug can you use 3x120 volt?
If you have a quadruple 110 v socket, it can be replaced by a triple 120 v socket.
Can 115 volt be used in 110 plug?
115 Volt and a 110 Volt can be treated as the same thing. The electrical voltage supplied from your electric company is not exact and can be 120 Volt + or - 10%.
Can you soft wire an electric water heater and plug it into a household outlet?
