Yes, 120 and 110 volts are a nominal figure in the same voltage range. It is brought about by the power company, as they have a responsibility to keep voltages within a certain 10% range. The load will only notice a difference of 1% on the load current. e.g. Wattage load of 1200. Amps = watts/volts. 1200/120V = 10 amps. 1200/110V = 10.9 amps. On a constant resistance as the voltage goes lower, the current goes higher and vice versa as the voltage goes higher, the current goes lower.

Do you have 220v or 110v?
An ipod nano is 110 volts. Why, because our regular outlets are 120 volts AC.
What is The Voltage Of Mexico?
Mexico has 110 to 120 volts. SOME AREAS 220.
Can 110 volt be used for 115 volt?
Yes - usually house voltage varies from 110 to 120 volts.
How many volts does a dish washer require?
In the U.S., residential dishwashers are usually 110 volts.
Is it safe to plug 120 volts to 130 volts outlet?
Yes- 120 volts is just the label given to it for ease of the consumer. The voltage actually fluctuates several times every second, and can reach as high as 175.
Would 110-240 volts 50-60 Hz work on 120 volts?
If that is the information that is stated on the nameplate of the device then yes it will operate on 120 volts.
Can a 120 volt appliance run on a 110 volt circuit?
Yes. Circuits in a home are 120 volts but people tend to call them 110 volt circuits. The 120 volts you read on the appliance is the maximum voltage the appliance can handle. The actual voltage you will read at any outlet will range from 110 to 120 volts.
How will a 3 phase panel give you 110 volts and 220 volts?
A three phase panel will not give you 110 and 220 volts. A three phase four wire panel will, but not at these voltages. The nearest voltages will be 120 and 208 volts. The 120 volt is the wye voltage of 208 volts. 208/1.73 = 120 volts. A single phase three wire panel will give you 110 and 220 volts.
Why US use voltage equal to 110 but Europe 220 volt?
The U.S. chose 110-120 volts because it is safer than 220-240 volts. Far less chance of getting electrocuted on the lower voltage.
Are the outlets in a facility made to receive 110 volts or 120 volts What would be overvoltage?
On the side of all receptacles there is a maximum voltage rating on the device. For 120 volt devices the rating is usually 125 or 130 volts. Check on your outlet to see what the maximum rating is. Different manufactures vary a bit as to how much voltage can be applied to their particular device.
Does the USA use 110 volts?
Yes, the standard single-phase electrical system in the US is 110/120 volts at 60 Hertz.
Can you install a 120V baseboard heater on 110 amp power service?
Yes. The voltage of 120 volts is a nominal figure. The utility company has a plus or minus tolerance from 110 to 120 volts. This tolerance is based on the figure of 115 volts.
What if you plugged in a 110 volt in a 120 volt?
Typically residential voltage may range from 110 to 120 volts so there should be no problem.
Can a 120 hair dryer work with a 110 outlet?
