What is the energy voltage in United States houses?
I think you mean "what is the voltage of the electric power distribution in US houses" It's called 240 volt single phase, which is a misnomer, as it is actually two phases of 120 volts each. Most outlets are connected to one of those phases and supply 120 volts to appliances. Some appliances that require more power connect to both phases for 240 volts.Addendum to the answer:The answer above might look a bit vague, the voltage in the US is 120V (same as Canada, most of Europe is 220-240 V), the electrical frequency is 60 Hz. Plugs used are A or B.

How many recessed lights can you put on a 20 Amp circuit breaker?
If there is nothing else on the circuit then you could easily install 15. If there are outlets on the same circuit then try and keep the total of outlets and lights to a maximum of 15. But in reality the number of devices depends on how many amps each device pulls. Add up the amperage of the recessed lights you are going to install and then add any outlets and what may be plugged into them to get the number you can install. A 100 watt light bulb will draw about 1 amp. So you can easily have 15 on a 20 amp circuit.
