A stove, dryer, water heater, furnace, heat pump.
the voltage between 1 line & phase =120v The voltage between 2 line =240
The standard voltage for residential electrical systems in the United States is 120 volts for most outlets and 240 volts for larger appliances like stoves and dryers.
If you are referring to domestic electrical outlets, most regions use either 110 - 120 volts or 230 - 240 volts.
You will need a small converter as the outlets are different, as is the voltage. NZ is 240 while USA is 110. The converters go for about US$12 - US$20.
Yes, it can. you just need an adaptor.
I think you mean "what is the voltage of the electric power distribution in US houses" It's called 240 volt single phase, which is a misnomer, as it is actually two phases of 120 volts each. Most outlets are connected to one of those phases and supply 120 volts to appliances. Some appliances that require more power connect to both phases for 240 volts.Addendum to the answer:The answer above might look a bit vague, the voltage in the US is 120V (same as Canada, most of Europe is 220-240 V), the electrical frequency is 60 Hz. Plugs used are A or B.
No. The 1-phase 240 setting on your computer's power supply is for the 240V wall outlets in other countries. The 240 outlets in your home are 2-phase 240.
The maximum voltage rating for a 120/240 VAC breaker is 240 volts.
The laptop has a power supply that connects between the laptop and the wall outlet. Looking at the power supply, the input voltage will show a working voltage from 100 to 240 volts. You may need a pin changing adapter because the pin configuration is different between 110 outlets and 220 volt outlets. Get past the pin configuration difference the computer will operate on both voltages through the power supply as long it is in the voltage range stated above.
Power stations generate electricity by converting energy from sources like coal, natural gas, or renewable resources. The electricity is then transmitted through power lines to substations, where the voltage is reduced for distribution to homes and businesses through power lines and transformers. Finally, the electricity is delivered to our homes through electrical outlets.

You need the formula: Amps * Volts = Watts But you get to do the math.
