What can be plugged into a 115 to 120 vac outlet?

Answer 1

Any small appliance or other piece of household or industrial electrical equipment which has been designed to take a small current (usually not much more than 5 Amps) from the standard household alternating current electricity supply in the US, Canada and other countries which use the same system, which is 60 Hz, 120 Volts plus or minus 10%. The actual voltage supplied could therefore vary from 108 Volts to 132 Volts. To get the actual figures for your locality it is best to ask a local licensed electrician or your local electricity supply company.

Answer 2

Any device rated from 110 volts to 120 volts will work. The two voltages are a nominal figure. The lower range of voltages can go from 110 to 120 volts. All equipment rated within the ranges from 110 to 120 volts are all compatible with each other. This ten volt range 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. 2400/110V = 21 amps. 2400/120V = 20 amps.

Answer 3

Most common household devices and appliances can be plugged into a 115 to 120 VAC outlet, such as lamps, TVs, computers, phone chargers, and kitchen appliances like microwaves and toasters. It is important to check the power rating of the device to ensure it is compatible with the voltage of the outlet.
