Can this be plugged into a standard 120 volt outlet and used with any 3 prong device. Want to use it with my chevy volt that pulls 8-12amps

No, it has a NEMA 6-50P plug. It looks like a normal three prong grounded plug, but is much bigger. It is Generally used for small welders and such on 50 amp circuits. You probably need a "normal" 15 or 20 amp extension, the thicker the better if it needs to be long -- thee are charts for gauge of wire, length, and amp loads.

8 to 12 amps isn't much this cord is much heavier than that. I'm sure it would work the way you asking just make sure the hot wires are the same from the breaker box to the charger. Are you sure a volt charger is 120v. You will need a 50amp plug wired up for 120v. The male plug on the end will not plug into a standard 120v outlet.

I don't think so - This is a 50 amp cord for a household 220 - I use it with a welding machine and I had to have an electrician wire in a special outlet for it. NEMA 6-50

No, this is for 220V outlets only. The plug is commonly used on welders, clothes driers, and similar high current devices, and is much larger than a standard 110v 3 prong connecter.

Hey Melvin, it can be plugged into a grounded three prong electrical outlet, if the outlet has a round grounding port. Also, Google search for "Clint Ober Video's"he explains all about the grounding and checking outlets to make sure they are grounded back to earth. Also using a grounding rod works well.

This unit will not work for you. It is 120 V and has electronic circuitry in it which will not tolerate just a different plug.

It's a none grounded 110 plug. So it will plug into any 110v outlet or extension cord. As for amps I don't know. I'm not really worried about it. I guess you would need to contact the manufacturer for that information. If it helps you any I wired my chicken coop 110v/20 amp circuit breaker and I plug it directly into the outlet. During the winter I also run a heated 2gal water bowl and a 150w heat lamp.

This wiil work with a 2 prong, non-grounded plug. I do not believe it will work with a 3 prong grounded plug. It will work if the ground prong is removed but then you have a safety issue.

It works fine on a standard, grounded (3-prong) outlet. It takes about as much power as a coffee pot.

I do not know of a way to use 120 v. outlet. No adapter orplug can with the unit. However, it does very well in thecar's electrical plug and the long cord is a big plus.

It's 15 amps, so this will allow a device to pull pretty much the maximum current from a typical wall outlet. Anything requiring more current than this can handle shouldn't be plugged in to a typical wall outlet anyway.

It plugs in to a NEMA 6-50 receptacle. It should probably be on a 40A or 50A circuit, but mine is on a 30A circuit and it hasn't had any troubles. I have a 2012 Nissan LEAF and it only pulls 15A anyway.(EDIT: Accidentally typed 5-50, it's supposed to be 6-50).

I do not think so. It has a 3-prong plug that only fits in 110-120 volt receptacles.

Yes it will run on a standard 110v outlet but will only output about 100 amps current. Great welder for the money. You will have to buy a 110 plug. It only comes with the big three prong 220 plug.

Mine is a regular two prong AC wall plug type. It would plug into any U.S. standard 120 volt outlet.

I doubt it. It comes stock with a 120V 3 prong plug for standard US outlets.

Yes the charger can work with 3 prong items. I did not use it for a laptop, just mainly my iphone & ipad. It does have 1-2 spots for 3 prongs.

It will work with any standard automobile 12 volt outlet. I have never heard of a car without one. Gets respectably warm.

Standard 3 prong for 110 outlet. Plug into any USA grounded house outlet. Dont know how to add pic.

Hi Greg- No that's not true. It plugs into a standard 110/120 outlet. And honestly, I find myself using mine more and more!
