No. The voltage rating needs to be 600 volts for 480 volt power.
Yes, lamp cord is rated in the 300 volt wire classification. This means that the cord is approved for use up to a maximum of 300 volts.
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.
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.
The voltage rating of the cord is actually an insulation rating of the wire in the cord set. Your cord has a maximum voltage rating of 300 volts or less. The other standard maximum voltage cord ratings are 600 volts and 1000 volts. 480 volts would drop into the category of 600 volts or less.
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.

The first thing we have to do is clarify the question. A cable rating of 125 volts is an insulation rating of the wire. Like wire with ratings of 300 volts, 600 volts and 1000 volts these are the highest allowable voltages that can be applied. A wire that is rated for 300 volts is good for 120 volts, 240 volts and 277 volts. At test research facilities, equipment is tested to destruction. The label that is given to wire as a result of the tests is the highest safest voltages that can be applied to that particular wire. So when you see a wire that has a label stating that it is rated for 300 volts it means that any voltage under and up to 300 volts is safe to apply. So to answer the question yes, the 125 volt insulation rating on the cable can be used to supply a source of 120 volts to a 120 volt rated piece of equipment.
For a 5500-watt generator, you should use an extension cord rated for at least 20 amps to safely handle the electrical load. Make sure the extension cord is in good condition and of the appropriate gauge to prevent overheating and ensure safe operation.

An electric range should use a heavy-duty power cord that is rated for high voltage and amperage, typically a 4-prong cord with a 240-volt rating.
