115V

115V refers to a nominal voltage of 115 volts, commonly found in North America and some other parts of the world. It is a standard household and commercial alternating current (AC) voltage. This voltage is typically supplied by power utilities to residential and light commercial buildings. Most common appliances, electronics, and devices are designed to operate on this voltage level. The actual voltage can fluctuate slightly from the nominal 115V due to various factors such as load on the grid and distance from the power source, but it is generally maintained within a specific tolerance range by utility companies.

In North America, the standard residential electrical service is split-phase, which provides both 120V and 240V. The 115V designation is often used interchangeably with 120V as a nominal value, with 120V being the more precise standard. Devices labeled for 110V, 115V, or 120V are generally compatible with the 115V/120V supply. It's important for users to ensure that their electrical devices are rated for the correct voltage to prevent damage or malfunction. International travelers should be aware of voltage differences when using their electronic devices abroad, as many other regions operate on 220V-240V systems. Adapters and converters may be necessary to safely operate devices designed for 115V in higher voltage environments.
