Nominal utility voltage at the service to a house is 120/240 volts, with three wires. 240 volts is measured across the two "line" conductors, and 120 volts is measured across either line conductor and the neutral. The range of tolerable voltage is within 5% above and below the nominal voltage.

The voltages of 220 - 240 and 110 - 120 volts all fall within the normal voltage range of a utility company's mandate. They are what is known as 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. e.g. Wattage load of 2400. Amps = watts/volts. 2400/220V = 10.9 amps. 2400/240V = 10 amps. Amps = watts/volts. 2400/110V = 21.8 amps. 2400/120V = 20 amps. On a constant resistance as the voltage goes lower, the current goes higher and vise versa as the voltage goes higher, the current goes lower.
