Why is American voltage so low?
In the US, tri-phase 208V is sometimes used too, to homes, where each phase to neutral provides 120V. The reason for 220-240 was that with AC distribution, this became a convenient voltage level to deliver to homes. And the reason why Europe dropped the 120V domestic distribution was simply economics.
How do I know what voltage my appliances are?
To see if there’s voltage running “downstream” of the outlet into the appliance, turn your multimeter to the AC volts setting (ṽ). With the appliance turned off, touch the multimeter’s leads to the circuit. Read the voltage. The target voltage depends on the type of appliance you have and the components you’re testing.
