110130V

110130V refers to a voltage range, rather than a single nominal value, used on some electrical equipment and power supplies. It indicates the device is designed to operate with an alternating current (AC) input between roughly 110 and 130 volts RMS. This range aligns with the typical mains tolerances found in certain regions and with variations caused by transformer regulation and electrical load.

Regional context is important. In North America, standard household voltage is about 120 V AC at 60 Hz, with variation commonly ranging from around 110 to 125 or 130 V depending on the location and conditions. Some equipment specifies 110–130 V to ensure reliable operation across these fluctuations. Other regions use different nominal voltages (for example, 100 V or 230 V), so the 110–130 V designation is most relevant to equipment intended for markets with voltages near 110–130 V.

Electrical characteristics. The voltage is typically specified as a root-mean-square (RMS) value. Frequency may be 50 Hz or 60 Hz depending on the region, and devices sensitive to mains frequency, such as certain clocks or motors, may require matching frequency for proper operation. Within the 110–130 V band, power supply components like rectifiers and transformers must be rated accordingly to handle the intended range.

Practical considerations. If a device is labeled 110–130 V, applying voltage within that range should allow normal operation, while voltages outside the range can lead to reduced performance, overheating, or damage. Many modern power adapters are labeled with a wider range, such as 100–240 V, making them usable in multiple regions; for non-universal devices, a suitable step-down or step-up transformer may be required when traveling between regions.

Safety and standards. Use properly rated cords and certified power supplies, and ensure outlets and grounding comply with local electrical codes. Surge protection and proper ventilation can help protect equipment operating within this voltage band.
