Is it ok to use a 120v light switch in place of a 125v light switch?

yes, as long as the wattage are almost the same which is similar to the same current

Can a 125V and 30 amp plug be used for a device that requires 24V and 50 amp?
No. If you plug something that needs 24 volt into a 120v socket you will probably ruin your device.
Can you use a 1.5a 125V fuse to replace a 5a 125V fuse?
It depends on what you are powering with the circuit, but probably not. The 1.5 amp fuse would blow in normal operation of the device.
Can you use a 125V 15A fuse to replace a 250V 10A fuse?
No, the voltage rating should not be exceeded. However, you could use a 250v 10a fuse for a 125v 10a fuse.
Can a 7a 125v power cord be used in China which is 240v?
No, it cannot.
Can you get electrocuted for a 7.5 watt bulb?
The wattage has nothing to do with the amount of electricity that is running through it; it has to do with the amount of energy that is converted into light. If the bulb is a 125v bulb, even if it is only 7.5 watts, yes, you can be electrocuted from it.
Can you use a 125v unnotched cable with a notched socket 120v ballast for your 1000 watt HID light fixture if you add a notch to the cord or remove the notch from the socket?
See discussion page for more.
Can you run 125v air conditioner on 120v house current?
Yes ,it's the same voltage.You have a +-5% of voltage range

Can you properly switch prongs on a 20 amp 250v twist lock to change it to a 125v?
No, it is against the National Electrical Code to wire a receptacle with the wrong voltage. You should call a qualified electrician to change the 250V receptacle to a 125V receptacle.
How much voltage is used by electrical device?
minimum 230volts In formal electrical jargon, a "device" does not "use" electricity. A device is something like a switch or receptacle(outlet) that helps control or carry electricity but does not consume electricity. In the United States, voltage for home lighting and general purpose receptacles is 120v. Voltage for electrical appliances such as ranges, clothes dryers, or furnaces is 240v. Voltages such as 110v, 115v, or 125v are versions of 120v in electrical jargon and voltages such as 220v or 230v are versions of 240v.
Can you use 7amp 125V fuse replace 6.3amp 125V fuse?
no.. it could damage your electrical components.
What is the difference between 125V 15A fuse and 230V 15A fuse?
The voltage rating of a fuse (in this case 125V or 230V) defines the maximum circuit voltage that the fuse is safe to be used on. A fuse with a voltage rating of 125V should not be used in a circuit with a voltage greater than 125V. If a 125V fuse were installed in a 230V circuit and an overload current occurred, the fuse could explode.
Can you make an extension cord that would have a NEMA l5-30p 30a 125v plug on one end and a NEMA l14-30r 30a 125v receptacle on the other end to connect a generator parallel kit to a transfer switch?
Yes. Use 10awg wire, mindfull of length voltage drop.
Can a 125v cord be used with a 120v appliance?
Yes and no. The voltage rating of the cord and appliance are compatible, so that's not an issue. However, the cord must be thick enough to handle the maximum load the appliance will draw (amperage). Thicker cords (lower wire gauge) can handle more current. Running high draw 120V appliances, such as toasters, microwaves, window AC units and especially hair dryers on extension cords or undersized wiring is a serious fire and shock risk. Special heavy duty appliance cords (usually 10 gauge wire and <10' long) are available for 120V applications at most hardware stores. Ideally, the cord would be hard wired into the appliance, and not be excessive in length. The ground pathway, if applicable, should be maintained as well.
Will 3A 125v work with 250 V?
No it will not work.
Can you use a 1.5a 125V fuse to replace a 5a 125V fuse?
It depends on what you are powering with the circuit, but probably not. The 1.5 amp fuse would blow in normal operation of the device.
Will 10a 125v power cord power a10a 250v?
no
