I think it depends on country to country. In India, it is 220V-230V

A power supply receives 120 volts of power from a wall outlet and converts it to?

A power supply receives 120 volts of power from a wall outlet and converts it to a lower voltage output suitable for electronic devices. The conversion process typically involves transforming the voltage using transformers and regulating it with circuits to provide a stable power source for the connected devices.


How do you find out the power supply voltage from my wall outlet?

If you're in North America, and you're using a standard PowerPoint (ie. a normal outlet - two vertical bars with a round pin beneath or above), then you've almost certainly got 110 to 125 Volts AC. If you're in Europe or many places elsewhere - like Australia, for example, then it's possible that you've got 220 to 240 Volts AC. Using a voltmeter, you can measure the voltage between the pins to determine exactly what voltage is provided. I'd get an electrician or someone technical to do this for you - the power in the electrical outlet can be DEADLY. Do not attempt this unless you're qualified to do so!


Volt meter setting for testing outlet?

Set your voltmeter to the AC voltage mode, typically denoted by a "V~" symbol. Make sure the voltage range is set to a level higher than the expected voltage from the outlet, such as 200V or 250V. Insert the black probe into the common (COM) jack and the red probe into the voltage (V) jack. Then, touch the probes to the outlet's live and neutral terminals to measure the voltage.


Does ac dc mean it can run on battery or plug into wall?

AC - Alternating Current, same thing that comes out of a wall socket DC - Direct Current, batteries. <<>> When a device has AC/DC on its name plate, it can work off either of the two voltages. Many portable radios have this function. When the radio is plugged into AC, the voltage is transformed to the working DC voltage and then rectified to a DC voltage. When the radio is on battery operation, the radio operated strictly from the DC voltage supplied by the batteries. The change between voltages from AC to DC or DC to AC is almost instantaneously. This change over is done through an AC powered relay in the radio. When the AC held in relay looses its supply it de energizes and switches over to DC power if the batteries are in the radio. With batteries in the radio try it. Plug into the AC supply, turn on the radio that has batteries installed in it, unplug the AC supply and the radio will not miss a beat.


Can you plug a CB radio into a standard wall outlet?

No, CB radios are typically powered by a direct current (DC) power source, such as the vehicle's battery or a separate power supply designed for the radio's voltage requirements. Plugging a CB radio into a standard wall outlet, which provides alternating current (AC) power, would likely damage the radio and pose safety risks.

How to test a wall outlet with a multimeter?

To test a wall outlet with a multimeter, set the multimeter to measure AC voltage. Insert one probe into the hot slot and the other probe into the neutral slot of the outlet. The reading should be around 120 volts. If the reading is significantly lower or higher, there may be an issue with the outlet. Make sure to follow safety precautions when working with electricity.
