What if a number of outlets in your house read 125 volts and the others read 123 volts?
This small discrepancy in voltages is of no concern. Depending on where in the circuit and from which side of the bus bars in the distribution panel the reading was taken will account for the difference. Your voltage is a little high but the utility company's transformer may be right outside your home and that will account for the high voltage. This is done so as to keep the voltage at a nominal value for the people that are connected to the same circuit down the street.
What else can I help you with?
In North America what is the normal voltage for a house?
Residential applications are around 110v to 120v, 220-240v, in this range, its 120 volts nominal to a typical wall outlet, however you may read anywhere from 110volts to 120 volts or so, the highest I have seen personally in residential was 245volts.
What Voltage type are in outlets at home?
Your home electrical wall outlets current capacity is governed by the breaker that feeds that circuit. In most home situations the wall receptacles are fed with a 15 amp breaker. Dedicated outlets could have a higher ampacity as they are installed for specific appliances or devices. To check your circuit, plug a lamp into the outlet. Start flipping the breakers off. When the lamp goes out that is the breaker for that circuit. Look on the handle of the breaker and it will tell you the capacity of that particular circuit.
Is 124 volts TOO HIGH for household wall outlet in USA?
Normal voltage for 120volt outlets is 110v to 130v. It would vary depending on the length and size of the wire to the nearest power company transformer, and the different voltage terminals on the transformer that the power company connects.
How many volts does a house run on?
120 volts and 240 volts. Typically 240 volts is supplied to the house electrical service entrance. It is split into it's 120 volt components via two buss bars. Hooking a circuit up to just one bar yields 120 volts. Hooking into both gives 240 volts.
What is the main power feed for a house?
The main power feed for a house is typically provided by the local utility company through overhead or underground electrical lines. This feed connects to the main electrical panel in the house, which distributes electricity to the various circuits and outlets in the home.
What are the voltage requirements for electrical outlets in Brazil?
The voltage requirements for electrical outlets in Brazil are typically 127 volts or 220 volts.
What is the peak to peak voltage for the AC line voltage in normal outlets of your house?
Peak - neutral for 120 volts RMS is 169 volts, or 120 * sqrt(2) Peak to peak will be 2 x this value, or 339 volts.
Kitchen range which is 220 volts but their is only 110 volt outlets as power throughout the house no 220 outlets.?
your outlets work on AC current(alternating) meaning it cycles from -120 volts to +120 volts 60 times a second.... there are two phases in your house at 180degrees of electrical separation(meaning that while one phase is +120 the other is at -120, +90 -90.. etc etc assuming they are phased properly. so.... from -120 to 0(120 volts of difference in potential) then from 0 to +120(120v diff in potential) you get 240 volts for your stove. Im sorry i did this explanation with Canadian voltages and not American(110 vs 120 and 220 vs 240)
