  • Understanding Appliance Voltage: 120V vs. 240V & 208V
    Appliances typically run on 120-volt circuits in North America and some other parts of the world. However, this can vary depending on the appliance and the region:

    * 120 volts: Most common for everyday appliances like refrigerators, microwaves, ovens, washing machines, dryers, and small electronics.

    * 240 volts: Used for high-power appliances like electric water heaters, central air conditioning units, and electric stoves.

    * 208 volts: Sometimes used in commercial settings.

    Important note: Voltages can vary slightly depending on the specific electrical grid and location. It's always best to check the appliance's specifications or the electrical panel for the correct voltage.
