What are standard voltage values?
If you are referring to domestic electrical outlets, most regions use either 110 - 120 volts or 230 - 240 volts.
Is the maximum voltage in an ac circuit when the rms voltage is 110 volts?
It depends on the equipment. The power supplies on most devices can only handle a specific voltage and still work properly. Some, for instance some cell-phone chargers, can handle a range of voltages, say from 110 to 240, which lets them operate in both the States and the UK (where the standard home/office voltage is 230 Volts). Check the label on the back of the device; it will usually show the operating voltage required. Asking the maximum voltage for 110 equipment is valid. 110 means AC voltage that averages 110 volts as it swings above and below 0 volts. The label on a device typically will not tell you the maximum voltage it can withstand if it is plugged into a U.S. 110 volts AC outlet. U.S. houses are wired with 2 hot wires (each 120 Volts AC but opposite of each other) and a neutral wire (0 volts). That way electrical outlets can be wired for 120 Volts AC if they use a hot wire and the neutral wire... or 240 volts AC if they use both of the hot wires. If the neutral line goes bad then the 120 volts AC outlet floats anywhere from 0 volts to 240 volts. I have been in a house when this occurred (the neutral corroded on the transformer that fed several houses). Supplying too high a voltage burned out an air conditioner, a refrigerator, and an incandescent bulb actually burst, scattering glass close to my wife. The air conditioner threw out a lot of smoke so there was a danger of fire. In the U.S. a typical 120 volts AC circuit often has a higher voltage. I have seen specifications and codes that put an upper allowable voltage at 120 volts AC, 137.5 volts AC, and 150 volts AC. Every electrical device has different limits but I would not subject anything built for 120 volts AC to voltages higher than 132 Volts AC unless I had specific knowledge that the device could handle the higher voltage.
The primary coil of a step-up transformer draws 110 W. What is the power provided by the secondary coil?
When we look at transformers, we'll generally see that watts in will equal watts out. Said another way, volt-amps in equal volt-amps out. There is a simple relationship between the turns ratio between the primary and secondary and the voltages between those two windings. From there, it's a hop, skip and a jump to figuring out currents. In a one to one transformer, volts in equal volts out. Current in will equal current out, too. Watts in will equal watts out. In a step down transformer with, say, a 10:1 ratio, 120 volts in will produce 12 volts out. And a 1 amp secondary current will appear as a 0.1 amp current in the primary. The 120 volts x 0.1 amps = 12 watts. And the 12 volts x 1 amp = 12 watts. Volt amps in equals volt-amps out, and power in equals power out. Simple and easy. If you are using a step up transformer in, say, a 110 volt to 220 volt application, 110 watts in the primary at the 110 volts will be 1 amp. In the secondary side, 220 volts will appear and 0.5 amps will be the current flow. The 220 volts times the 0.5 amps is 110 watts, as asked about. The secondary has twice the voltage and half the current of the primary side. There are 110 watts in and 110 watts out. Again, simple and easy.
On a standard three prong AC outlet what should the AC voltage measure between hot and ground?
Any where between 220 and 240 volts are a nominal figure in the same voltage range. It is brought about by the power company, as they have a responsibility to keep voltages within a certain 10% range. The load will only notice a difference of 1% on the load current. eg. Wattage load of 2400. Amps = watts/volts. 2400/240V = 10 amps. 2400/220V = 10.9 amps.
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.
How will a 3 phase panel give you 110 volts and 220 volts?
A three phase panel will not give you 110 and 220 volts. A three phase four wire panel will, but not at these voltages. The nearest voltages will be 120 and 208 volts. The 120 volt is the wye voltage of 208 volts. 208/1.73 = 120 volts. A single phase three wire panel will give you 110 and 220 volts.
Would 110-240 volts 50-60 Hz work on 120 volts?
If that is the information that is stated on the nameplate of the device then yes it will operate on 120 volts.
Can a 120 volt appliance run on a 110 volt circuit?
Yes. Circuits in a home are 120 volts but people tend to call them 110 volt circuits. The 120 volts you read on the appliance is the maximum voltage the appliance can handle. The actual voltage you will read at any outlet will range from 110 to 120 volts.
Does the USA use 110 volts?
Yes, the standard single-phase electrical system in the US is 110/120 volts at 60 Hertz.
Can you install a 120V baseboard heater on 110 amp power service?
Yes. The voltage of 120 volts is a nominal figure. The utility company has a plus or minus tolerance from 110 to 120 volts. This tolerance is based on the figure of 115 volts.
What is the normal voltage of house electricity in Mexico?
110-120 volts
What if you plugged in a 110 volt in a 120 volt?
Typically residential voltage may range from 110 to 120 volts so there should be no problem.
Can a 120 hair dryer work with a 110 outlet?
Yes - a hair-dryer rated at 120 volts will work in a 110 volt outlet.
How do you convert 120 volt machine to 110 volt plug?
No conversion needed. These are nominal voltages which range from 110 to 120 volts. It will operate fine on the outlet.
What is The Voltage Of Mexico?
Mexico has 110 to 120 volts. SOME AREAS 220.
Can you plug a 120 volt appliance to 110 volt outlet?
Yes, normally, assuming it's 60 cycle (hertz) AC. In the USA, 110 volts as such is no longer used, it's really 120 plus or minus about 5 volts everywhere.
Will a 115 volt converter from 240 volts harm a 110 - 120 volt appliance?
The appliaance is designed for 110-120 v so if it is fed at 115 v that is quite OK.
