Yes, a 125v cord can be safely used with a 120v appliance. The voltage rating on a cord indicates the maximum voltage it can handle, so using a cord rated for 125v with a 120v appliance is within the safe operating range. It is important to match or exceed the voltage rating of the appliance to avoid electrical hazards.

How much power is in a 120V line?
Most 120 Volt appliances have their Watts listed somewhere on the appliance. Divide this number by 1,000 to get kilowatts. Determine the rate you are charged for electric power. Your electric bill will tell you how many kWh(kilowatt hours) you use, and what the total charge is. Divide your total charge ($?) by the kWh used. In northern Illinois, we are charged about $0.11 per kWh. Multiply the number of hours the appliance is used by its power consumption in kilowatts. This gives you the number of kWh the appliance used. Then multiply that kWh value by the rate for your area that you determined from your electric bill. That will be the cost for the number of hours the appliance was on. Example: If I toast 2 slices of bread in my toaster, it takes about 3 minutes, or 0.05 hours. My electric bill is $61.38 and I used 558 kwh for that month. Dividing $61.38 by 558, I get about $0.11 per kWh. So, I divide my toaster Wattage (750) by 1,000 to get 0.75 kW. So now I can multiply the hours that the appliance was used (0.05) by its power consumption rate in kW (0.75). This result is 0.0375 kWh of energy used. Then I can multiply the rate the electric company charges ($0.11) by the energy used (0.0375 kWh). The final result is $0.004125.
Can delta connection be used on 3 phase 4 wire system?
A delta connected appliance can be connected to a 3-phase system by leaving the neutral unconnected. The appliance must be properly earthed.
What is the use of extension c holder?
An extension cord holder is used to hold an extension cord. It wraps around the holder, for easy release and withdrawal.
Can you use ac dc adapter of 12 volts and 2 amps for an appliance rated for 7.5 volts and 1.8 amps?
To use an adapter of this sort, its rated voltage must match the rated voltage of the appliance, and its rated current must exceed that of the appliance. So, in your example, the rated voltage is too high to be used with your appliance.
What are two main types of three phase connections?
There are two different electrical outlets for North America. The first, electrical outlet A, is used in North America and Japan. It is 2 blade NEMA 1-15 ungrounded. The second, only used in America, is 3 pinned NEMA and both are 15A/125V.
What can an LS-18 7A 125V Longwell cord be used for?
The cord can be used with Dell Alienware Laptop adapters.
Can a 7a 125v power cord be used in China which is 240v?
No, using a 7a 125v power cord in a 240v outlet in China could cause damage to your device or pose a safety hazard. You should use a power cord that is rated for at least 240v to ensure safe operation.
What are some uses for an electrical cord?
Electrical cord is also refered to as power cord, line cord, and main cable. Electrical cord is mainly used to connect the appliance to the main electricity supply via wall socket.
Can a range 40 AMP power cord be used on a dryer?
No, a 40 amp range power cord should not be used on a dryer. Dryers typically require a 30 amp power cord to operate safely and efficiently. Using the incorrect amp power cord can cause damage to the appliance and pose a safety hazard. It is important to always use the correct type of power cord for your appliance to prevent any issues.
Calculate 120Volt 15 amp appliance kWh?
Well, a 120V appliance that draws 15A would be using 1800W. (15x120). A killowatt hour is one killowatt used continuously for an hour. If you used that device for one hour straight, it would use 1.8 kWh. (Keep in mind the device may not draw a full 15A)
What is the difference between 125V 15A fuse and 230V 15A fuse?
The voltage rating of a fuse (in this case 125V or 230V) defines the maximum circuit voltage that the fuse is safe to be used on. A fuse with a voltage rating of 125V should not be used in a circuit with a voltage greater than 125V. If a 125V fuse were installed in a 230V circuit and an overload current occurred, the fuse could explode.
If you use a 120V appliance out of the US will you still be able to use it in the US after?
If the appliance is designed to operate at 120V only, it should work in the US but may require an appropriate plug adapter. However, if the appliance is not dual voltage and needs a different voltage in the other country, it may not work properly or could be damaged when used in the US. Always check the appliance's voltage requirements before using it in different countries.
Can you use UK appliances in the us?
Not unless the appliance is rated to be used with the two different power supplies. The US uses 120v, 60 Hz if it plugs into a receptacle, and possibly 240v, 60Hz if it is hard wired. The UK uses 240v, 50Hz whether it plugs in or is hard wired. These two power systems are NOT compatible. You may use a US appliance in the UK, and vice versa, only if the appliance is dual rated, i.e. the appliance says 120v/60Hz AND 240v/50Hz on the nameplate. If the appliance only specifies one power supply, it can only be used on that power supply. If this is the case, you may be able to use a travel adapter to operate the appliance.
What type of cord is used in a lamp?
Lamps use what is called a power cord. Power cords connect the appliance (in this case, a lamp) to a wall socket and the electrical field causes the filiment in the light bulb to beam.
Can you use a 12v 60hz 210 va power cord to replace a 120v 60hz 150w cord?
No, it has to do with the insulation rating of the individual cords. 12 volts can be used on a voltage rating of 120 volts. But 120 volts can not be used on a 12 volt rated cord. As a point of interest most power cords have an insulation rating of 300 volts.
Can a 125V and 30 amp plug be used for a device that requires 24V and 50 amp?
No, the plug and device have different voltage and amperage requirements. Using a 125V 30 amp plug for a device that needs 24V 50 amp could damage the device and pose a safety hazard. It is important to match the electrical specifications of the plug and device for safe operation.
Can you use a 2.5A 125V cable for an LCD TV?
All televisions are supplied with a power cord suitable for the model. If, for any reason, a new cord is used, it is important that you confirm it is correct for the television. The manual should provide the information but if there is any doubt, for safety, ask the advice of someone properly qualified before using a different power cable.
