What happens when i plug 120 volts to 220 volt plug?

0

Plugging an appliance or electronic device that is expecting a 120 volt input into a 220 volt outlet will blow the fuse of the device if there is one, which hopefully will prevent the inevitable damage caused by too high of a voltage, often resulting in equipment failure, namely fire, burns, blown capacitors, blown resistors, blown diodes, blown inductors, melting internal circuit boards, short circuits… at the very least, irreparable equipment failure, sometimes even personal injury.
