∙ 13y agoIn most countries it is 220-240 Volts AC @ 50 Hz
In the North American continent, Central America and some countries in the Northern Part of the South American continent it is 100-127 Volts AC @ 60 Hz
If you are not absolutely sure what the voltage in your home is, contact your local town council or municipality and ask them. Electricity is extremely dangerous!

∙ 11y agoIn India we are using the voltage rating of 230 V. And this voltage is RMS value of the voltage. Or we can say 325 voltage of average voltage should be given to the house or end users. Because average voltage of 325(may be 330 V) is equal to rms value of 230

How much voltage does a transformer reduce for home use?
IT depends on the voltage that is at the powerlines. Ibelieve the common residential powerline voltage is 2160v and your house is 120/240v
Does wattage change as voltage change?
It depends by how much it changes. Power (watts) = current (amps) x voltage If the current halves and the voltage doubles, the power won't change. But if the current is cut in half and the voltage only goes up by a little bit the watts will go down. If the current only goes down a little bit but the voltage doubles, then the watts will go up.
What does a step up transformer do at a powerplant?
It is used to step up the voltage in order to transmit it a long distance where it goes into a stepdown transformer and then into your home .
How electricity reaches your home?
Power is generated at the power plant. It is then sent to a step up substation where the voltage is stepped up to several hundred thousands of volts to reduce amperage and keep the power lines from melting, then closer to your home it goes to a step down substation where the voltage is reduced and amperage is increased again. these are the power lines most commonly seen, then it goes to the transformer outside your house on the light pole where the voltage is greatly reduced yet again and turned into single phase 240 volts, it then goes from the transformer to the electric meter on your home, from there it goes into a breaker box and can be used as 240 volts or split into 110 volts depending on its application.
What will happen to the generator voltage when the load fluctuates in distribution board?
The generator's voltage regulator will sense the fluctuation. If the voltage goes low more current will be applied to the armature to compensate. If the voltage goes high less current will be applied to the armature to compensate.
How does voltage drop effect the amps?
Yes. When the voltage drops and the power requirement (watts) stays the same, the amperage goes up.
How much of your waste goes to Landfill sites?
Unless you recycle, all of your waste, not counting what goes in the sewer, goes to landfills. At your home, about 15% of your trash is recyclable and in an office as much as 85% of what goes into trash cans is recyclable.
What A voltage source such as a?
A voltage source is anything that provides a voltage; for example a cell or battery, or an electrical outlet in your home.
How much voltage does the average home air conditioner use?
Between 18 to 24 amps, depending on ton capacity.
How much voltage is used per day?
Voltage is not "used" Voltage is constant.
How much voltage does two lemons have?
1.8 voltage
What you consume in home current or voltage?
Power is contituted by both current and voltage So we consume both current and voltage
