Can a 125 volt cable power a 120 volt piece of equipment?
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.
Can you use 240 volts with a 120 volt supply?
No, it is not possible to use 240 volts with a 120 volt supply directly. You would need a transformer to step up the voltage from 120 volts to 240 volts. Attempting to use 240 volts with a 120 volt supply without a transformer can damage equipment and pose a safety hazard.
What gauge wire should you use for a 500 watt light 120 volts?
For a 500 watt light at 120 volts, you should use a 14-gauge wire to ensure that it can safely handle the load without overheating or causing a fire hazard. This wire gauge is suitable for a maximum continuous current of 15 amps, which is sufficient for a 500 watt load at 120 volts.
How many volts does 12-2 wire carry?
12-2 wire typically carries 120 volts in residential settings and 240 volts in certain appliances or systems that require higher voltage.
How you can produce 240 volts from a single phase 3 wire system with a nominal voltage of 120 volts?
you can use two hot wire different phases with a double pole braker .
What is ampere rating of 10 gauge wire at 120 volts and at 240 volts?
30 amps.
How will a 3 phase panel give you 110 volts and 220 volts?
A three phase panel will not give you 110 and 220 volts. A three phase four wire panel will, but not at these voltages. The nearest voltages will be 120 and 208 volts. The 120 volt is the wye voltage of 208 volts. 208/1.73 = 120 volts. A single phase three wire panel will give you 110 and 220 volts.

In a cental air unit which wires are black white and red?
the black wire is A phase, the red wire is B phase, and the white wire is the neutral. Black should have around 120 volts. Red should have 120 volts, and should add up to 240 volts with a multi meter.
Can you use 240 volts with a 120 volt supply?
No, it is not possible to use 240 volts with a 120 volt supply directly. You would need a transformer to step up the voltage from 120 volts to 240 volts. Attempting to use 240 volts with a 120 volt supply without a transformer can damage equipment and pose a safety hazard.

How do you wire a wire to a wire?
If you are connecting 120 volts, you connect the black wire to the breaker, white wire to the neutral bar, and ground wire to the ground bar. If you are connecting 240 volts connect the black & white wires to the breaker, & ground wire to the ground bar.
How many volts does 12-2 wire carry?
12-2 wire typically carries 120 volts in residential settings and 240 volts in certain appliances or systems that require higher voltage.
What size wire do you need for 2HP motor with 120 volts?
12/2 with ground.
If an electric heater has a red blue and green wire that has been cut off how do i know if its 120 volts or 240 volts?
