The voltage in North America can be as low as 110 and as high as 125 volts. The average is about 115 to 117 volts.
<><><>><>
House voltage in the US is generally 120v line to neutral and 240v line to line. It is referred to as a "120/240v single phase service." Actual voltage can be as low as 110/220 or as high as 125/250.

What provides us electricity?
The best way to do this is with an experiment. Turn off the electricity to your house, or ask your dad to do that, then you will find out quite quickly.
What is the voltage is used for industrial purposes?
It depends on the country as to which voltage is used for industrial purposes. In the US, for welding for example, voltage may be 480 volts. The frequency in the US is 60 Hertz.
What type of power does a power supply convert to?
A power supply is generally only converting the mains voltage down to a lower voltage suitable for low voltage equipment. It turns 120 v into 18v or 12v or 5v or any other voltage it is specified for. In most countries outside US, we have 220 volt AC in the mains. Power is however power. One could say that Voltage is the speed of which the power run. A power supply generally slows down the speed of electricity. Regards.
Do phones use ac or dc?
Some devices operate on AC and others on DC. Generally, anything that uses mains electricity (120V US, 240V UK) is using AC electricity and things that use batteries or are rechargable like cell phones, ipods, personal CD, use DC electricity.
Can you plug a 110V appliance into a 115V outlet?
120 Volts and 115 Volts refer to the same thing in the US. Residential electricity is provided at 120 Volts from the utility. High current devices such as motors are often rated at less than the supplied voltage (such as 115 Volts) because it is expected that there is a small amount of voltage drop in the circuit feeding them. The National Electric Code allows a 5% drop in voltage from the electric service so a 5 Volt drop from 120 Volts is OK.
What is the US normal voltage of house electricity?
110/220
Is the normal voltage of house electricity in the US AC?
Yes. It is 60 Hz between 110 and 120 volts on each of two bus bars with 220 to 240 volts between two bus bars.
Normal voltage house in the US?
The vast majority of homes are supplied with 120/240 volt or 110/208 volt.
What is the peak value of AC which you use in house?
Short answerHouse in US = 156V peakHouse in Europe = 325V peakLong AnswerAC voltages are usually identified by their RMS voltage. This is a mathematical calculation of the "average" or DC equivalent voltage. It is smaller than the peak voltage by a factor of about 0.707 for a sine wave AC which is the normal type.The actual peak voltage in your house depends on a number of factors. The most important being what the nominal supply voltage is in your area.The US typically uses a nominal voltage of 110V RMS = 156V peakMost of Europe uses a nominal voltage of 230V RMS = 325V peakActual voltages in a particular house can vary significantly from nominal. Some specifications call for +/-10% from nominal. The difference is caused by voltage drops at various stages in electricity transmission. There can also be variations due to shortages of supply, etc.
What is an average electricity bill monthly in US?
It depneds on the type of house, but the average is about $70 to $80.
What types of electricity are produced in US?
It is all at 60 Hz, various high voltage lines and systems. Domestic supply is usually 120 V
If you buy a Ps3 from the US will its voltage be compatible with Egypt?
Electricity in Egypt is 220 Volts, alternating at 50 cycles per second. If you travel to Egypt with a device that does not accept 220 Volts at 50 Hertz, you will need a voltage converter.
Does the White House pay utility bills?
Yes, everyone has to pay for their usage of electricity and water. The white house is not exempt of this.
What is the voltage requirement for a house attic fan?
Look on the fan motor tag. If you hav`nt gotten the fan yet get one that can use the voltage you have available. Typically in the US 110volt AC.
What are advantages power supply in computer?
The power supply converts the high voltage (e.g. 120VAC in US, 240VAC in Europe) alternating current house electricity supply down to the various different low voltage direct current supplies needed by different devices that make up the computer. These low voltage direct current supplies are tightly regulated in the power supply circuitry to prevent transients in the house electric supply from perturbing the computer's electronics as well as to compensate for variations in power demand as the different devices that make up the computer operate.
What is the voltage on Aruba?
60Hz , the Same as the USThe voltage in Aruba is 127 V @ 60 Hz (which makes it compatible with the US and Canada). It also uses the same plug type as in the US and Canada. source: voltageplugregion.com
Formula for converting US voltage to India voltage?
There is no formula to convert voltage. Voltage is universal.
