For many years, mainland Western Europe has used a mains electricity supply rated at nominally 220VAC @ 50Hz, while the UK used 240VAC @ 50Hz. Currently, ALL Western European supplies are classified 230VAC and most other countries follow this. However the US and Canada use 120 V @ 60 Hz.

What will be the maximum value of voltage in domestic at 50 hz frequency?
50hz
What is the different between domestic and industrial electricity supply?
Electricity for industries are supplied with high voltage.Domestic supply is with low voltage.
Is voltage in a home about 70 percent of the peak voltage that is generated?
A modern power grid consists of many voltages and currents, all being interconnected by transformers, which trade off voltage and current. A typical power generator usually generates electricity at a few thousand volts AC, which is then stepped up to around 120kv for distribution, then stepped down to around 30kv, for secondary distribution, then finally down to 240v/120v for domestic use. Engineers typically measure the voltage of AC circuits using "RMS voltages" (Root Mean Squared voltages) This convention is used because of the varying nature of AC, and relates the varying AC voltage to an effective DC voltage. RMS Voltage for typical AC =Peak voltage / Square root(2) which is approximately equal to peak voltage* 70%
What is the difference between voltage forward voltage and voltage drop?
Voltage is the potential difference between the source & any point in the circuit. The forward voltage is the voltage drop across the diode if the voltage at the anode is more positive than the voltage at the cathode (if you connect + to the anode). Voltage drop means, amount of voltage by which voltage across load resistor is less then the source voltage.
What is voltage gain?
Voltage gain is the ratio of the output voltage of an amplifier to its input voltage.
What voltage of electricity is used for domestic electricity in nigeria?
240 volts
What will be the maximum value of voltage in domestic at 50 hz frequency?
50hz
Is there a voltage regulator for a 98 Towncar?
most domestic cars built since the early 80s have the voltage regulator built into the alternator.
What is the definition of converting electricity?
Electricity is converted from High voltage, 3 phase on the grid to low voltage single phase for domestic use.
What are the specifications of an electric bell?
Domestic or Industrial Voltage. preferred size, type of mounting.
What are the specification of electric bells?
Domestic or Industrial Voltage. preferred size, type of mounting.
What is the Voltage of Egypt Cairo?
220V single phase (domestic) 380V three phase (industrial)
How many volts does a over head light use?
The domestic main line voltage varies from country to country.
What is a device that changes electric current into a different voltage?
Nothing can change electric current to voltage. You can compare "current " to rate of flow, while "voltage" is the energy level. Transformers can be used to increase or decrease the voltages of alternating current as is done from 'street power' to domestic power.
What is the three phase voltage in Pakistan?
Pakistan has a 220 v 50 Hz domestic supply and the three-phase voltage is sqrt(3) times higher, or 381 v. Higher voltage are also used for three-phase power transmission.
What is the different between domestic and industrial electricity supply?
Electricity for industries are supplied with high voltage.Domestic supply is with low voltage.
Why is it electrical power is normally transmitted at high voltage?
Simplistically Power is Voltage times Current. Sending at domestic voltage requires much more current to be sent for the same power and therefore much thicker wires, heavier equipment and more repeater transformers as over distance the resistance of the wires and switches would cause the voltage to fall quickly below domestic. For the same power delivery, sending at higher voltages requires less current, lighter wires, and voltage losses over distance are more easily managed so much less equipment is required.
