In the U.S., we use 120 volts AC for domestic power. A garbage disposal uses this power, and the current it will draw will vary, depending on the wattage ratting of the appliance. (Note that we also have 240 volts AC because we use a pair of 120 volt legs to provide that voltage to run electric ranges, electric clothes dryers and the like.
