Can you use 265 volt appliance on a 220 volt line?
Yes, the 265 volts is just the maximum the appliance can handle. You can use it on a 240 volt circuit.
What happens when a 2A 220 volt appliance is plugged into a 110 volt?
Not much of anything. The 220 volt appliance needs just that ... 220 volts in order to run. If it runs at all, it certainly would not be running at anywhere near peak efficiency.
Can you plug in a 150V appliance into a 110V outlet?
Probably not, but I have yet to see a 150 volt appliance as this is a non-standard voltage. If you are referring to a 115 volt appliance then the answer is yes you can as 110/115/120 volts tend to be used interchangeably in practice and are close enough together to not affect operation of the appliance.
Is it safe to run a 230 volt with 110 electric?
No a 230 volt appliance should not be pluuged into a 110 volt socket (And vice versa) you need to buy a converter that can be plugged into the 110 volt outlet then the appliance can be plugged into the converter.
Can you use any 220 volt adaptor on a 110 volt appliance?
No. 220V adaptor can't control the output voltage, 110V appliance will be fry. Use instrument transformer or voltage regulator instead.

Can a 120 volt appliance run on a 110 volt circuit?
Yes. Circuits in a home are 120 volts but people tend to call them 110 volt circuits. The 120 volts you read on the appliance is the maximum voltage the appliance can handle. The actual voltage you will read at any outlet will range from 110 to 120 volts.
Can you use a 100 volt Japanese appliance in 220 volt country such as Hong Kong with 110 volt converter?

No. The voltage of the charger's output is only 7.5 volts. This is not high enough to charge a 9 volt battery device.
Does an 180 volt appliance require 240 volt supply?
No, it requires a 180 Volt supply. Most appliances work +/- 10%, in this case 162 Volts to 198 Volts. I would question whether your appliance is really 180 Volt. No country uses this as domestic supply, it is usually 110V or 220-240V.
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.
