Depends on country
USA has lower voltage than UK in the US it is 120 V
UK uses 240 volts
AnswerThe United States and Canada uses a split-phase system, that supplies a residence with a nominal 240/120 V. 240 V is used for high-power appliances (e.g. stoves, driers), whereas lighting and receptacle (socket outlets) circuits supply 120 V.The UK and Europe's nominal supply standard is 230 V.
