The acceptable range of ac voltage at an outlet is from 115 to 120 volts. The utility company has a mandate to keep the voltage within a 10% fluctuation range. The catch is 10% from what set point voltage.

When measuring an unknown voltage with a multitester or analog VOM you should first?
Go to highest scale on AC range
Is DC voltage and average voltage same?
no, dc volatage is a type of current direct current, ac is alternating current, average voltage could be any type of voltage ac or dc that maintains a constant rangeAnswerNo. A DC voltage is exactly equivalent to an AC rms-voltage. So, for example, 100 V (DC) is exactly equivalent to 100 V (AC rms). The average value of an AC waveform is zero.
Why do computers need to run on DC?
Digital devices deal with logic levels, you need a steady (DC) voltage to represent a 1 and another steady voltage to represent a 0. Power is used each time a level changes. AC is constantly changing, and is defined by a peak voltage and a frequency, so a single voltage reading is meaningless. For example a house outlet could be 140V one time then -30V, etc (120V outlet swings between -170V and 170V)
What is the output voltage of megger is it ac or DC?
megger are available in ac &dc
Can ac pass through capacitor?
AC can pass through a capacitor. The higher the frequency of AC the lower the reactance (like resistance). The current and applied voltage are 90 degrees out of phase the current leading the voltage by this amount.
What is ac welding?
AC welders use electric voltage directly from an alternating current outlet.
Will a 12 volt light plug into a standard wall outlet?
No, it will cause the bulb to blow. A 12 volt light is DC voltage and your home outlet is AC voltage.
On a standard three prong AC outlet what should the AC voltage measure between neutral and hot?
Nominally 120 Volts.
What is AC voltage at wall outlet?
I think it depends on country to country. In India, it is 220V-230V
On a standard three prong AC outlet what should the AC voltage measure between neutral and ground?
Zero, or very close to it. If there is a large neutral current flowing, voltage drop on the neutral leg could cause a volt or so to read between the two. If you read full line voltage, the outlet is wired wrong!
What powers the flash in a camera?
One or more batteries or a voltage converter/transformer unit plugged into an AC outlet.
What is the first step in diagnosing a completely dead computer was working fine the day before?
Check the AC outlet for voltage
I have 230 wall ac unit I want to replace can you buy a 115 voltage unit and use it?
As long as the outlet is right for the 115, you can buy it.
How can you power your CB at home to a standard wall outlet?
Get a 120 volt ac to 12volt dc power supply. you plug them into a house outlet and it converts120 house voltage to 12 volt dc , some have regulators on them and you can turn the dc voltage up and down on them. make sure you set your device to the proper voltage before turning on.
What is ac adaptor?
Also called a power supply, plugs in to a standard wall outlet to provide 12 volt DC or 24 volt AC power for cameras and other low voltage devices
ABS sensor produce AC voltage or DC voltage?
AC !
How do you convert 23 voltage DC to 230 Voltage AC?
How do you convert 23 voltage DC to 230 Voltage AC?
