Multiple-standard television sets, laptop computer power supplies, etc., are usually designed so that they can be used internationally. For example, my LED television set is rated at 100-240-V 50/60-Hz , which means that it can be connected to any supply voltage between those limits, and will work properly at either frequency.
So, while '100-240-V 50/60-Hz' isn't the SAME as 120-V 60-Hz, it simply means that the device can be operated quite safely AT 120 V 60 Hz in North America, just as it can be operated quite safely at 230 V 50 Hz in Europe.

∙ 9y agoIt is the specification of an electrical appliance that can work on any power supply likely to be found in any country in the world. My computer power supply has that same marking on it and it's currently working on 240 v 50 Hz but if I took it to Tokyo it would still work on 100 v 60 Hz with only the right adaptor with pins to fit the power sockets there.

You observe a small plaque on an electrical appliance that reads in part 115 volts AC 60 Hz This means that the appliance?
That the appliance does not need a electrical transformer and uses the US standards for electricity off the grid.
Does a house plug have 115 volts or 240?
It depends which country you are in. Some countries use 115 Volts AC for household supplies, some use 220, 230 or 240 Volts AC. See the link below for a list of which countries use which voltage.
What is meant by 12V 60 VA?
This is short for 12 Volts, 60 VoltAmps. VoltAmps are the same as Watts, but used for AC equipment.
What is -v 12v?
Tricky question. 12 Volts, if referenced in AC, would mean a root-mean-squared (RMS) value of 12 Volts. It would also equate to a maximum voltage of about 17 volts. Roughly speaking 12 Volts AC is equal to 12 Volts DC. Just remember that 12 Volts AC isn't always 12 Volts....
If you have a 30 amp breaker how many watts can it use?
To answer this question a voltage must be given. Watts = Amps x Volts. <<>> Answer At 115 volts ac, 30 amps equals 3,450 watts.
What voltage do hotel rooms have in US?
115 volts 60 Hz AC

What does AC mean on ultrasound?
Alternating Current. in the US -ll0-l20 Volts, 60 Cycles or Hertz.
How many watts does 115 volts equal to an AC unit rated at 9.2 amps?
Watts = Volts x Amps x Power factor For an AC Unit I am guessing that your PF = .75 so we have 115 x 9.2 x .75 = 793.5 Watts.
What is the electric current in the US?
120 volts 60 Hz AC
What is the electrical current in the US?
120 volts 60 Hz AC
What does 120 volt one phase mean?
If you are in the U.S., it means you can plug into the wall and it will work. The typical wall outlet is 115 volts AC and is a single phase supply. A couple of volts here or there doesn't mean anything to the appliance in question - whatever it may be.
How do you convert 115 volt into 230 volt?
The only way to do that is with a transformer. They make inline transformers that convert 230 to 115 and they simply plug in inline.
What is the curren in an ac circuit with 120 volts and a 60 watt light bulb?
You want to know how many amps in that circuit. To do so, divide the Watts by the Volts. in your case it would be 60 watts / 120 volts = 0.5 Amps.
What is meant by 12V 60 VA?
This is short for 12 Volts, 60 VoltAmps. VoltAmps are the same as Watts, but used for AC equipment.
How do you calculate the ac amps when you have the DC volts DC amps and the ac volts?
the answer is dc volts are rectified from ac volts and the amperage will be the same unless you account for the slight drop from the rectifier. dc volts from a battery have no relationship to ac volts. you can derive ac volts from a dc source using an inverter.
