In a previous edition of AC WORKS wisdom, we mentioned that it is impossible to adapt up or down between 125 volts and 250 volts. However, you can adapt down to 125 only if the power source is rated as a 125/250 volts connection. I know, confusing, right? Then what’s the difference?

This video will break down the anatomy of connections that are rated 250 Volts. Complete with diagrams and familiar examples, we show you the determining factors that allow your 250 Volt connection to step down to 125 Volts.

If you have any more questions about the differences in voltages, please reach out to us with a text, phone call, or email.
