It is not recommended to use a grounded adapter to connect a 115V air conditioner to a different power source.

Air conditioners are designed to operate within specific voltage and current requirements. A 115V air conditioner is intended to be plugged into a standard 115V electrical outlet that provides the appropriate voltage and current for its operation.

Using a grounded adapter, also known as a plug adapter or travel adapter, may allow you to physically connect the air conditioner to a different type of outlet, but it does not change the voltage or current supplied to the appliance.

If the power supply from the different outlet does not match the voltage and current requirements of the air conditioner, it can result in damage to the AC unit, increased risk of electrical hazards, and potential fire hazards.

To ensure safe and proper operation, it is essential to use the correct power supply for your air conditioner. If you need to connect a 115V air conditioner to a different power source, it is recommended to consult with a qualified electrician who can assess the electrical system and make any necessary modifications or provide appropriate solutions for your specific situation.
