I have never seen a 100 Volt rated outlet. Usually outlets would be rated for 110 to 120 volts for residential use, or maybe 150 volts. The rating is separate from what voltage the outlet is providing. If your outlet is supplying 100 volts, as measured by an accurate voltmeter, you have some problem in your wiring or a faulty outlet. If there is only 100 volts at the outlet get an electrician to diagnose the problem if you are not completely familiar with home wiring.

In general you should never use an outlet that has a voltage or current rating less that the device will consume.
