What if a number of outlets in your house read 125 volts and the others read 123 volts?

This small discrepancy in voltages is of no concern. Depending on where in the circuit and from which side of the bus bars in the distribution panel the reading was taken will account for the difference. Your voltage is a little high but the utility company's transformer may be right outside your home and that will account for the high voltage. This is done so as to keep the voltage at a nominal value for the people that are connected to the same circuit down the street.

Do you have 220v or 110v?
An ipod nano is 110 volts. Why, because our regular outlets are 120 volts AC.
What output voltage does a home receptacle have?
That depends where you are. In north America the outlets are nominally 110 volts. I have tested many homes and find them actually from 105 to as much as 127 volts
What Voltage type are in outlets at home?
Your home electrical wall outlets current capacity is governed by the breaker that feeds that circuit. In most home situations the wall receptacles are fed with a 15 amp breaker. Dedicated outlets could have a higher ampacity as they are installed for specific appliances or devices. To check your circuit, plug a lamp into the outlet. Start flipping the breakers off. When the lamp goes out that is the breaker for that circuit. Look on the handle of the breaker and it will tell you the capacity of that particular circuit.
How many volts does a house run on?
120 volts and 240 volts. Typically 240 volts is supplied to the house electrical service entrance. It is split into it's 120 volt components via two buss bars. Hooking a circuit up to just one bar yields 120 volts. Hooking into both gives 240 volts.
What is the standard voltage for wall outlets?
If you are talking about normal house hold voltage it would depend in which country you live in. For North America it would be 120/240 volts. For Europe and Eastern countries it would be 240 volts. Industrial voltages vary from country to country. These normal voltages range from 120, 277, 240, 347, 415, 480, to 600 volts.
What is the peak to peak voltage for the AC line voltage in normal outlets of your house?
Peak - neutral for 120 volts RMS is 169 volts, or 120 * sqrt(2) Peak to peak will be 2 x this value, or 339 volts.
Kitchen range which is 220 volts but their is only 110 volt outlets as power throughout the house no 220 outlets.?
your outlets work on AC current(alternating) meaning it cycles from -120 volts to +120 volts 60 times a second.... there are two phases in your house at 180degrees of electrical separation(meaning that while one phase is +120 the other is at -120, +90 -90.. etc etc assuming they are phased properly. so.... from -120 to 0(120 volts of difference in potential) then from 0 to +120(120v diff in potential) you get 240 volts for your stove. Im sorry i did this explanation with Canadian voltages and not American(110 vs 120 and 220 vs 240)

Are the outlets in America the same as in Australia?
America 120 volts 60 Hertz, Australia 240 volts 50 Hertz.
How many volts are used in worcester?
Worcester, Ma uses 120 volts at 60 Hz for lighting and outlets and 240 volts for some appliances and HVAC. Worcester, England uses 230 volts at 50 Hz.
What are standard voltage values?
If you are referring to domestic electrical outlets, most regions use either 110 - 120 volts or 230 - 240 volts.
Are all 20 amp outlets 240 volts?
No. 20 amp 110V are quite common in kitchens.

Have 120 volts going to outlets and lights but yet the plugs and lights don't work?
Check with a reliable voltmeter on the wire into outlets. If no power then it's disconnected in a junction box somewhere.
What is the problem if an outlet in the dinning room reads 145 volts and a outlet in the kitchen reads 79 to 81 volts?
My outlets have 132 volts in the kitchen! And 130 at the shop witch is 300 ft away ! Is this to much ! And transformernot cutting enough
How do you wiring 110 volts for household?
It would be best if you contacted a qualified electrician to resolve any questions about house wiring. There is a real potential for serious injury, death to you or others, and damage to your house.
What type of plug adaptor do you need for cuba?
Most outlets in Cuba are 110 Volts and you can use the U.S. thin blade plugs. You may find some 220 volt outlets but they are normally marked as such.
