110, 115 and 120 volts are a nominal figures in the same voltage range. It is brought about by the power company, as they have a responsibility to keep voltages within a certain 10% range. The load will only notice a difference of 1% on the load current. eg. Wattage load of 2400. Amps = watts/volts. 2400/110V = 21.8 amps. 2400/115 = 20.86. 2400/120V = 20 amps. On a constant resistance as the voltage goes lower, the current goes higher and vise versa as the voltage goes higher, the current goes lower.
What else can I help you with?
Will a 115 volt converter from 240 volts harm a 110 - 120 volt appliance?
The appliaance is designed for 110-120 v so if it is fed at 115 v that is quite OK.
Is a 110 volt electric receptacle the same as 120 volt receptacle?
Technically, 110-volt and 120-volt receptacles are not exactly the same. However, in practical terms, they are often used interchangeably as the standard voltage in the United States has become 120 volts. Most modern appliances are designed to work within a range of voltages, so a device rated for 110 volts should work fine in a 120-volt receptacle.
Can you plug in 120 volt cord into a 110 charger?
Equipment works over a range of voltage and should be interchangeable between 110 v and 120 v so the answer is yes.
Which contact is bigger on a 110 volt plug?
on a standard 110-120 volt recptical the larger contact is the neutrial (white)side the smaller contact is the "hot" side
How do you convert your 110 volt neon sign to run off 240 volt UK socket?
What you will need is a 240 to 120 step down transformer. An adapter might work but it depends on what the current draw of the neon sign is at 120 volts.
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.
What voltage can not use to a 110 socket?
Only use 110-120 volt appliances on a 110 volt socket.
What if you plugged in a 110 volt in a 120 volt?
Typically residential voltage may range from 110 to 120 volts so there should be no problem.
Will 120 volt equipment work on a 110 volt transformer?
Yes.
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.
Will a 115 volt converter from 240 volts harm a 110 - 120 volt appliance?
The appliaance is designed for 110-120 v so if it is fed at 115 v that is quite OK.
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 a 120 volt light work on 110 power?
Yes, a 120 volt light can work on a 110 volt power supply without any issues. The difference of 10 volts will not significantly impact the function or performance of the light.
Can a 120 hair dryer work with a 110 outlet?
Yes - a hair-dryer rated at 120 volts will work in a 110 volt outlet.
What happens when 220 volt equipment is plugged into a 110 volt source or if 110 120 volt equipment is plugged into a 60 volt source assuming all alternating current?
temporary it blows or KABOOOMM....
Can you use a 120 volt appliance in a 110 volt house?
Yes, the two voltages are in the same voltage range.
Is a 110 volt electric receptacle the same as 120 volt receptacle?
Technically, 110-volt and 120-volt receptacles are not exactly the same. However, in practical terms, they are often used interchangeably as the standard voltage in the United States has become 120 volts.
