The label rating of 125 volts is applied to 120 volt equipment. It is an insulation rating of the device. 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 devices as a result of the tests is the highest safest voltages that can be applied to that particular device. So when you see a device that has a label stating that it is rated for 125 volts it means that any voltage under and up to 125 volts is safe to apply.

How do you get 125 volts from l14-30 outlet?

To obtain 125 volts from an L14-30 outlet, you'll need to connect to one of the 125-volt legs. The L14-30 outlet is a NEMA configuration that typically provides both 125 volts and 250 volts, with two hot wires (L1 and L2), one neutral, and a ground. By using only one of the hot wires and the neutral wire, you can access the 125 volts. Ensure that you follow proper electrical safety practices and, if necessary, consult a qualified electrician.
