In general, volts affects the spacing of conductors and the level of insulation they receive. The higher the voltage, the greater the electrical 'pressure', requiring conductors to be more separated and/or insulated to prevent shorting and arcing. You should always use wires and connectors rated for your voltage or greater.

What is the temperature rating of non-metallic sheathed cable?
You have to check on the sheathing itself but mostly all household wiring is rated for 600 volts. I think you will find that NMS is rated at 300 volts.
What is the rating of domestic electric wiring?
Domestic wiring.: 1100 volts, 1.5 SQ-MM (22/0.3mm) lS:649
How do you calculate amp of circuit breaker to use on a 4800w oven?
Ovens typically run at 240 volts which will be a two pole breaker in your panel. Watts = volts x amps. 4800 / 240 = 20 amps. If by chance you are using 120 volts then double it to 40 amps. All wiring must conform to size of breaker used.
Why does your electrical outlet read 80 volts instead of 120 volts?
It could be a faulty transformer, a fault in insulation in the wiring, or improper grounding. If you read 80 volts between hot and 'ground', but 120 volts between hot and neutral, then it's most likely a grounding issue.
What is your outlet output voltage in US?
In North America there are two standard voltages for the wiring of homes, 120/240 volts.
Why are volts needed?
Volts are the "electromotive force" that is needed to "drive" the electricity through the wiring.

What would cause your car not to have 12 volts going to its egr solenoid?
Wiring/circuit damage, fuse, the year, make, model and engine size would help us.
What is stove range voltage?
In U.S. residential wiring it is 240 volts.
What size resistor is needed when wiring two leds in parallel using 6 volts dc?
A: LEDS are devices that needs a certain voltage and current typically 1.8 and 20 ma
Electric range wiring specifications?
The most common size wire for an electric range is 3C - #8 connected to a 40 amp two pole breaker for operation on 240 volts. <<>> Wiring specifications are located on the unit nameplate, where the serial and model number are.
What does DCV stand for?
In the category fuses and wiring it stands for Direct Current Volts
