If it's only rated up to 125v, it can't be plugged into a 220v sockets, and it's very likely to be damaged if you try. If you want your charger to accept it, you need a step down adapter that reduces the voltage from 220v to one.
Does it matter what power cord I use?
If you are referring to the 110 VAC power cord there is no problem as to which cord you use. However, the cables that connect from the PSU to the motherboard, devices, graphics card, etc. are not inter-changeable from one brand to another.Nov 28, 2014
Are power supply power cords interchangeable?
Many power cords or leads are interchangeable within the same country and within the same family. Those that have specialized requirements tend to have interlocking devices or tabs that prevent similar cords from being used in other places. Don't worry. If it fits, you'll be fine.
Can I use a 125V cord on a 240v?
Yes, you could use the cable. Usually, if the cable comes with the adapter and the adapter is rated for 240v then the cable should be safe to use on that voltage.Jan 14, 2021
What happens if I plug 120V to 220v?
An AC mechanical drive may fail to start, or it may take up more current than it is designed for, and eventually burn out. ... It is current that is your enemy, a piece wire that is warm at 110V (120v) will turn into a fuse at 220V (230v, 240v), all other things being equal.Dec 31, 2014
Can I use a 10A 125V power cord?
Yes it is safe. The 10 amp rating is the maximum current the cord can supply and the Xbox will use far less than that. The maximum current used is 10A if it is run on 110 V and only 5A if it is run on 220V so the 10A cord could definitely carry sufficient current.
Can I use a 125V plug on a 250V?
So the answer to your question is, while you theoretically can insert a 125V plug (for 110/120V rated equipment) into a 250V receptacle (to supply 230V/240V rated equipment), the physical mating incompatibility of the two will usually prevent you from doing so.
Can you plug a 120V appliance into 220v outlet?
Do not plug a 120V device directly into a 220V wall socket, even if the plug shape and size are identical. Although goods sold in the U.S. but available around the world sometimes accommodate 220V voltages -- iPods, for example -- other devices can be destroyed by such high voltages. When in doubt, use a plug adapter.Jan 9, 2019
What would happens if you plug a 110v into 220v?
It isn't safe to plug 110v to 220v. Overvoltage can destroy the appliance as such if the appliance has a motor, the motor might simply wear out. If the device in question is a bulb, you may hear a crack before it stops working.
Can I use a 7a 125V power cord?
Yes. The things that affect the cord itself are current (amps) and resistance (actually, impedance for A/C) in ohms. The resistance or impedance is the same and the current is only half as much at the higher voltage. That's the long way to say that the cord will be fine.Nov 23, 2018
What does 125V mean?
If so yes 125V means that is the maximum voltage the cord can stand at its rated amperage, so if your voltage is 120V or less then your cord can actually withstand a slightly higher amperage. If It is rated say 15A at 125V then it can deliver P = VI or 125 x 15 or 1875 watts.
