"With a volt meter." That last answer could be improved a bit as measured by my dolt meter. One uses a volt meter to measure a 220 outlet by setting it to 'Voltage' or a symbol that looks like a 'V' with a tilde over or beside it for AC. Set the voltage range to 200 or 600 or something close. Put one lead in a socket on the volt meter that probably says 'COM', and put the other in the 'V' socket on the meter. You should read zeroes whether the leads are touching or not. There will be (probably) 3 or 4 outlet socket holes. If 3, two will look slanted and the third will either be straight or have an 'L' shape to it. The L or straight socket is your ground/common socket. The two slanted sockets are your hot sockets. Putting a lead in each of the slanted sockets (being careful to hold the leads by the non-metalic part) should yield your reading, about 220-240.

What is the standard voltage and amperage of a wall outlet?
The standard voltage of a wall outlet is 120 volts, and the standard amperage is 15 amps.
What is the standard wall outlet voltage used in most households?
The standard wall outlet voltage used in most households is 120 volts.
What is the period of the voltage waveform out of a wall outlet?
60 seconds
How much voltage does a wall outlet supply?
Usually 110 volts
How much voltage does a wall outlet usually supply?
Usually 110 volts
Will a 12 volt light plug into a standard wall outlet?
No, it will cause the bulb to blow. A 12 volt light is DC voltage and your home outlet is AC voltage.
How to test a wall outlet with a multimeter?
To test a wall outlet with a multimeter, set the multimeter to measure AC voltage. Insert one probe into the hot slot and the other probe into the neutral slot of the outlet. The reading should be around 120 volts. If the reading is significantly lower or higher, there may be an issue with the outlet. Make sure to follow safety precautions when working with electricity.
If you measure the current coming from a wall outlet in your house will it give the same reading the meter uses to compute your home energy use?
No. Current does not come from a wall outlet unless the wall outlet is part of a complete circuit.
What is AC voltage at wall outlet?
I think it depends on country to country. In India, it is 220V-230V
Where should I place the outlet for a wall-mounted TV?
The outlet for a wall-mounted TV should be placed behind the TV or directly below it to hide the cords and provide easy access for plugging in the TV.
Should an all-in-one scanner be plugged into the wall outlet?
Yes, an all-in-one scanner should be plugged into a wall outlet to ensure proper power supply and functionality. It is recommended to follow the manufacturer's instructions and use the provided power adapter to connect the scanner to a power source.
