If the plug fits you are good to go. The typical range of residential voltage is from 110 to 125 VAC. You are fine within this range.

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 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.


What is correct voltage measurements between prongs on 120 volt outlet?

There is no correct voltage between he prongs on a 120 volt outlet. The voltage is constantly changing. It depends on the time of day and what your home demand load is. The utility company is mandated to keep the voltage between plus or minus 10%. This means from the base voltage of 120 volts it could be as high as 132 volts and as low as 108 volts. These voltages are a major swing differential and very seldom seen. The voltage generally reads about 115 to 125 volts.


Can you plug a 125v into a 120v?

No. 140 volts on a 120 volt system is symptomatic of something wrong. On a 120 volt system, 120 volts is near the top end of the acceptable scale with 110 volts being on the lower end of the acceptable scale. The first thing that you should do is check your volt meter against another one to make sure that the readings are the same. Many times meters that get knocked about need to be recalibrated. If you know an electrician check your meter reading against what his shows using a common source of voltage at the time.

Are the outlets in a facility made to receive 110 volts or 120 volts What would be overvoltage?

On the side of all receptacles there is a maximum voltage rating on the device. For 120 volt devices the rating is usually 125 or 130 volts. Check on your outlet to see what the maximum rating is. Different manufactures vary a bit as to how much voltage can be applied to their particular device.
