Simply put, they are all the same. The actual voltage is typically between 117 volts and 124 volts; 110, 115, and 120 (and 220, 230, and 240) are just names that come out of history.

Different countries have different electrical output from the wall sockets in their homes and businesses. Here in the U.S. it's 120 volts. In Europe, it's 220 volts. If you don't know what voltage to choose, you may consult this map or this list (scroll down for list).

Line voltage in the United States is 120 volts however lamps are often manufactured at 130 volts to increase lamp life and to offer protection against power surges. Please note you may use a 130-volt lamp in a 120-volt socket without issue but you will sacrifice some light output. Rule of thumb: a 130-volt lamp may last up to twice as long but can be up to 15% dimmer than a 120-volt lamp

Thomas Edison [no kidding] invented the electric light bulb, and needed to distribute electricity to make it usable. He built a system based on 110 volts DC. It was uneconomical and had large conductors and big voltage drops. George Westinghouse came up with the idea of using alternating current to transmit electricity.

No, we sell EU legal scanners (otherwise the scanners would be blocked) In Europe we use 220/230 volt, in the USA 110 volt is used. So the charger we have will not work at all. A 110 volt is not supplied, so we can not help you with this. But in all kind of shops in your neighborhood you can buy a 110 volt charger.

No, if you wire a 240 volt heater to a 120 volt circuit, you will only get about ¼ the wattage the heater was designed to deliver.

If your wiring already exists, you need to check the voltage of your electrical circuit and install the matching heaters. Both types of heater operate with the same output and use the same amount of electricity for any given amount of time. 240 volt heaters require double pole breakers, and 120 volt heaters require single pole breakers. See chart below:

Electricity is calculated on kilowatt hours, not by voltage. For example: a 1500, 120 volt heater will cost the same to run as a 1500 watt, 240 volt heater for the same amount of time. The difference is in the amperage. A 120 volt heater will draw twice as many amps as a 240 volt heater; so fewer 120 volt heaters can be run on the same circuit.

You should forget about the minivan and go catch a real criminal like a murderer or a rapist instead. Do something useful instead of harassing the citizens that obey the other 99.9% of the laws and are paying your salary. Clearly the minivan driver has somewhere important to be in a hurry and doesn't want to waste time dealing with you. Besides, it's illegal to pull over minivans for speeding. Only sports cars really go that fast.

Every Great Alaskan Holidays, Inc. motorhome is equipped with a 120 volt Power Generator to run the roof air conditioning and microwave oven and your hair dryer, if you bring it from home.

To determine what your power requirements are, look for the nameplate on the bottom or back of your product. It will tell you how much power and the voltage your product requires to operate. All equipment sold in Canada must bear this nameplate. watt light bulbs, the lights require 600 watts of power to operate ? you would need to order an 800 watt outlet. Click here for a list of basic 120 volt equipment brought to show site and their approximate power usage.

You may connect multiple items to a 120 volt duplex outlet providing the wattage does not exceed 800 watts (6 amps) on the 800 watt outlet and 1500 watts (12 amps) on the 1500 watt outlet. You may use an approved 3-wire grounded power bar, listed by a nationally recognized testing laboratory (i.e. CSA).

Yes, you do not have to do this work yourself ? it is your option. If you choose to have us do the work, please see our representative at our Service Desk to make arrangements.

You may keep it plugged in, however, since the 110 Volt power will generate a continual charge to the batteries, it is important to check the water level and add water to the batteries if necessary every two weeks.

No. The unit is operated by a 12 volt battery located inside the control box. The batteries are trickle-charged by a transformer that plugs into a standard 110 volt outlet. The wire from that transformer to the control box is a low voltage wire that can be up to 1000' long. For longer distances, the 110 volt electric would have to be installed closer to the gate or solar panels can be purchased to recharge the battery.

You can get 1000 watts of output power by connecting across 2 phases of a 3 phase supply (normally 208 volts).

You may keep it plugged in, however, since the 110 Volt power will generate a continual charge to the batteries, it is important to check the water level every two weeks, and add water to the batteries if necessary.

A6: We do NOT supply any form of ac/dc transfomer at this point for 220v - 250v AC. All of our PAL version products and 95% of our NTSC products will run on 12 volts DC. We do provide automotive (cigarette lighter) power cords and AA and AAA alkaline battery packs as a substitute for your free option selection. We do not carry ac/dc transformers in ANY other configuration than standard U.S. 110v AC.
