Can you replace a 10 amp 125 volt extension cord with a 10 amp 250 volt extension cord?
Yes the rated voltage is a maximum. A 250 v cord might be slightly thicker than one for 125 v.
<<>>
The voltage rating of an electrical extension cord is the insulation factor of the cord. These cords come in two insulation ratings, 300 volts and 600 volts. If the voltage rating is within the parameters of the cord maximums then it is safe to use it on that voltage. The amperage of the cord is based on the wire size of the cord's conductor. The rating of 10 amps will fall within the #14 cord size. Remember the longer the cord the larger the wire size should be to prevent voltage drop at the connected load end.
What else can I help you with?
Can you replace a 13 amp 125 volt appliance cord with a 15 amp 125 volt cord?
Yes, no problem at all going to a larger ampacity of wire. Larger size wire yes, smaller size wire no.
Can a plug a 125 volts extension cord in a 220 volt outlet to be used as a extension to plug 220 volts light amperage accessories?
No, the 220 v and 110 v systems are designed to use a different pin layout for the plugs and sockets, to avoid possibly dangerous cross-connections. The two voltages can not be mixed and equipment for one system cannot be used on the other without a transformer.
Would a 125 volt cord work with a 115 volt compressor?
Yes. The cord only transmits the power. Whatever that goes in is what comes out.
Can I use a 10 amp 125 volt power cord on my computer's 6 amp 125 volt input?
Yes, you can use a 10 amp 125 volt power cord on your computer with a 6 amp 125 volt input. The power cord's amp rating represents the maximum current it can handle, so it is suitable for your computer's lower amperage requirement. Just ensure the voltage matches to avoid any potential damage.
Can a 110 volt device be plugged into a 125 volt outlet?
Yes, a 110 volt device can be plugged into a 125 volt receptacle. The voltage rating on the receptacle is only there as the highest voltage supply that the manufacturer recommends their equipment be connected to.
Can you replace a 13 amp 125 volt appliance cord with a 15 amp 125 volt cord?
Yes, no problem at all going to a larger ampacity of wire. Larger size wire yes, smaller size wire no.
Can you replace a 7 amp 125 volt power cord with a 3 amp 125 volt power cord?
If the device you are powering requires 7 amps of power, then no. You will need to find a replacement cord with 7 amps. Check the power input requirements of the device to find out.

Will 2.0 250 volt replace a 1.6 125 volt?
You need to define what you mean by 2.0 and 1.6.
How do you convert a 125 volt to a 120 volt receptacle?
You tell yourself the 125 volt receptacle is a 120 volt receptacle. They're the same thing.
Can you plug in 110 volt appliance into a 125 volt outlet?
Yes.
Can a 110 volt device be plugged into a 125 volt outlet?
Yes, a 110 volt device can be plugged into a 125 volt receptacle. The voltage rating on the receptacle is only there as the highest voltage supply that the manufacturer recommends their equipment be connected to.
Can you convert an old 15 amp 125 volt electrical outlet to a household electrical outlet?
A 15 amp 125 volt outlet is a household outlet.
Can you plug a 120 Volt 30 Amp tanning bed into a 125 Volt 30 Amp outlet?
yes
Can a 125v cord be used with a 120v appliance?
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.
