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.
The highest voltage for lighting in a home in the US is typically 120 volts. This is the standard voltage used for residential lighting fixtures.
The voltage from the hydro pole to the house is typically around 7,200 volts to 14,400 volts in residential areas. This high voltage is then transformed and reduced by a transformer near the house to the standard household voltage of 120/240 volts.
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.
A standard two prong outlet in the US carries 110 volts. Actual voltage in your area may vary from below 100 to 140 volts, but these extremes are unusual. Most of the rest of the Americas (North and South) uses the same standard. In Europe, the standard voltage in a "two prong outlet" is 220 to 240 volts. In the US, this voltage is reserved almost exclusively for use by stoves and ovens in the home.
220/240 volt (double that in the USA). The critical thing to know is the frequency. In the States it is 60 Hz and in Europe is is 50 Hz (Hertz). This is important because anything with a motor and a power cable will be frequency dependant. Leave any device at home in the US when traveling or moving to Europe as it will not work if the motor is a 110/120 volt motor. For example, Washer Dryer, Refrigerator, Hair Dryer. Thing like a tape player, stereo, CD Player with a wall plug will work fine because inside the 110 unit it converts all electricity to a DC voltage so a typical voltage convert from 220 to 110 will do fine with these devices. On the other hand an item like a Hair Dryer is a 110 volt motor and cannot survive a 50 Hz attack and will burn up. You can by voltage converters in Germany when you get there.
110/220
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.
The vast majority of homes are supplied with 120/240 volt or 110/208 volt.
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.
It depneds on the type of house, but the average is about $70 to $80.
It is all at 60 Hz, various high voltage lines and systems. Domestic supply is usually 120 V
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.
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.
Yes, everyone has to pay for their usage of electricity and water. The white house is not exempt of this.
There is no formula to convert voltage. Voltage is universal.
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.
US Voltage is 120 V @ 60 Hz.Ecuador Voltage is 120 V @ 60 Hz.They're compatible, the plugs are also the same.
