Question

Is America 220v or 240V?

Answer 1

In the United States, the standard household voltage is 120V for most appliances, but some larger appliances like dryers, ovens, and air conditioners use 240V.

So, to clarify:

1. 120V: Used in most homes for things like lights, TVs, and small electronics.
   

1. 240V: Used for high-power appliances that require more energy, like washers, dryers, and ovens.
   

The 220V you mentioned is often a rough estimate for 240V, but the exact voltage can be anywhere between 220V and 240V, depending on the area.
