The voltage in North America can be as low as 110 and as high as 125 volts. The average is about 115 to 117 volts. <><><>><> House voltage in the US is generally 120v line to neutral and 240v line to line. It is referred to as a "120/240v single phase service." Actual voltage can be as low as 110/220 or as high as 125/250.


What is the standard voltage for wall outlets?

If you are talking about normal house hold voltage it would depend in which country you live in. For North America it would be 120/240 volts. For Europe and Eastern countries it would be 240 volts.

What is a Socket outlet?

Depending on where you are in the world there could be two meanings to the term socket outlet. In the European electrical trade, a socket outlet is usually a wall outlet where the voltage supply can be plugged into for portable devices.The same device in the North American electrical trade is known as a wall receptacle.A socket in North American terminology is what incandescent light bulbs screw into to hold the bulb in place. An example would be a ceiling porcelain fixture or in the case of a table or floor lamp, the socket is what holds the bulb.

Are 100 watt bulbs designed to be use on 250 volt supply?

250 V is not a nominal voltage used in Europe or in North America, although it may be elsewhere in the world. If so, then, yes, there will be 100-W lamps marketed for that particular voltage in that particular part of the world.The nominal voltage in Europe is 230 V and the nominal voltage (for lamps) in North America is 120 V. So, in Europe and North America, 100-W lamps are rated at 230 V and 120 V respectively.
