A standard household outlet in the U.S. typically handles up to 15 or 20 amps at 120 volts, which translates to a maximum of 1,800 to 2,400 watts. However, it's important to consider the total load on the circuit and avoid overloading it to prevent tripping breakers or potential fire hazards. Always check the specific outlet and circuit ratings to ensure safe usage.
