It all depends on the location and circuit ampacity. Kitchens usually only have 2 or 3. Garages can have anywhere from 1 to 14. Dining room circuits can only have outlets on them that serve the dining room. Clothes washing machines, air conditioners, and other appliances get their own circuits. Throughout the house, such as bedrooms, hallways, living rooms, ets, generally don't go over 14.
What else can I help you with?
Can you put a 120 v receptacle on a 240 v circuit breaker?
No, the electrical insulation rating of a 15 amp duplex receptacle is only rated at 130 volts. The 15 amp 240 volt receptacle is rated at 250 volts. The 240 volt receptacle also has a tandem pin configuration instead of the parallel configuration of the 120 volt device. The different pin configuration is so that a 120 volt electrical device can not be plugged into a 240 voltage receptacle.
Does the NEC code allow a 120 volt receptacle located behind a gas range to be supplied by a small appliance circuit?
Yes
How many outlets can run off 1 gfi outlet?
Eight on a 15 amp circuit, tweleve on a 20 amp circuit, including the gfci receptacle itself.
Do you need a special plug for a 120 volt 20 amp circuit?
Yes, you will need a special plug for a 120 volt 20 amp circuit. The plug should match the configuration of the receptacle to ensure proper connection and safety. Consider consulting with an electrician to determine the appropriate plug for your specific circuit requirements.
Is a 110 volt electric receptacle the same as 120 volt receptacle?
Technically, 110-volt and 120-volt receptacles are not exactly the same. However, in practical terms, they are often used interchangeably as the standard voltage in the United States has become 120 volts. Most modern appliances are designed to work within a range of voltages, so a device rated for 110 volts should work fine in a 120-volt receptacle.
How do you convert a 125 volt to a 120 volt receptacle?
You tell yourself the 125 volt receptacle is a 120 volt receptacle. They're the same thing.

Is a grounding 120 volt receptacle larger than an ordinary receptacle?
No, it just has an additional conductor to separate the neutral from the ground, and has a third prong in the receptacle to receive the appliance grounding conductor through the cordset.
Can a hps light fixture be plugged in to a regular outlet?
If the ballast of the HPS fixture has a 120 volt tap then, yes it can be plugged into a 120 volt receptacle.
How many outlets can be put on the 120 volt circuit if the outlets are rated at 120 va per outlet?
120 va on a 120 v socket means you can draw up to 1 amp from the socket. The number of outlets/sockets depends on the amp rating of the circuit. If it's 10 amps you can definitely have ten sockets and your local wiring regulations might allow more, on the basis that they won't all be used at once.
How can you determine if you have 110 or 220 volts?
Most residential service in USA has both. In the USA 110 to 120 volts is a given and it would be very unusual not to have 220 to 240 volts. It can be easily tested at main panel with a volt meter. Or as an alternative call your power company.
Can you use a 125 volt bulb in a 120 volt lamp?
Yes, the voltage listed on the bulb is the nominal voltage and it will work perfectly on a 120 volt circuit.
Can you wire a 120 volt ballast to a 347 volt circuit?
No, you cannot wire a 120 volt ballast to a 347 volt circuit. The ballast is designed to operate at a specific voltage, in this case 120 volts, and connecting it to a higher voltage circuit like 347 volts can damage the ballast and pose a safety hazard. It is important to match the voltage rating of the ballast to the circuit it will be connected to.
