Would current of 126 volts be detrimental to your appliances that are rated for 120 volts?
A current of 126 volts is within the normal fluctuation range of electricity supply and should not harm appliances rated for 120 volts. The appliances are designed to handle a small variation in voltage. However, if the voltage consistently exceeds the rated voltage by a significant amount, it could potentially damage the appliances over time.
Why are some appliances rated in watts and others amps?
Appliances are rated in watts to indicate the total power they consume, which is the product of the voltage and current they draw (P = V x I). Some appliances may also be rated in amps, which measures the current they require from the power source. Both ratings are important for determining electrical loads and ensuring safety.
Can you use outdoor extension cord indoor?
It is not recommended to use an outdoor extension cord indoors. Outdoor extension cords are often designed with different materials for weather resistance, which may not be suitable for indoor use and can pose safety hazards. It is best to use extension cords specifically designed for indoor use.

Electrical appliances are rated in what electrical terminology?
Appliances are rated in UL (Underwriters Laboratory) listing, which is a safety testing laboratory, and are rated in watts.
How many appliances can you run from an extension cable at once?
The total load applied to an extension cord is governed by the wire size of the cord. As the extension cord is usually plugged into a wall receptacle. The breaker protecting the receptacle is rated at 15 amps. The total wattage is limited to 15 x 120 volts = 1800 watts. Check the nameplate on the appliances to see what the wattage draw totals. This will give you the answer, any amount that adds up to the total of 1800 watts.
How can I safely connect and use wiring extension cords for my electrical appliances?
To safely connect and use wiring extension cords for your electrical appliances, make sure to use cords that are rated for the appropriate wattage and length needed. Avoid overloading the cord with too many appliances and never use damaged cords. Plug the cord securely into outlets and avoid running cords under rugs or furniture where they can be damaged. Regularly inspect cords for wear and tear and replace them if necessary.
