Best Answer

Total voltage that you use in your home is constant. For Europe ~230V, for US ~120V. But the total power that you use differs and depends on total power consumption of the devices you use [Watt/h].

The answer depends on the electrical standards of the country in which you live.

For example:

In Europe, the nominal voltage is 230 V (+6/-6%), at 50 Hz, usually supplied as single phase, although 400/230-V (+6/-6%) three-phase is not uncommon.

In the UK, the nominal voltage supplied to homes is 230V (+10/-6%)* at 50 Hz a.c., supplied as single phase using one line ("hot") wire and a neutral wire. (*The allowable variation of +10/-6% is an interim arrangement before eventual full harmonisation with the European standard.)

In North America it is 120/240 V (+10/-10%) at 60 cycles per second a.c., supplied as a single phase service split 120V-0-120V using two "hot" (or "live") wires and a neutral wire.

In the USA it is usually 120/208 or 120/240 volts In Europe I think it's 220 volts

How can you tell how many watts a camper uses?

The formula for wattage is Watts = Amps x Volts. Total up the amperage of all of the devices in the camper and multiply that sum by the voltage the camper uses. This will give you the total watts a camper uses.

Why are transformers used for transmission of electricity into your home?

The voltage provided by power company are higher what your home uses so transformers step down the voltage for your house. Higher voltages in your home would cause a potential safety hazard. The higher voltages on transmission lines are used to cope with voltage drops over long distances.

How much electric voltage does a VCR use?

All of it! A VCR runs on normal home voltage (120 volts). The voltage drop through the VCR is equivalent to the home voltage. If you're requesting how much power the VCR uses, this is depended on the the VCR - make, model; and whatever the VCR is doing (playing? rewinding? sitting idle? paused? etc.). The best way to find out is to buy a simple power meter. these are available for about 20 bucks. ANSWER: SCR does not run or use home voltage. The SCR can control the load power that is where the usage is. To run a fan at different speed to dim the lights and so fourth. It is a 4 layer diode the current passing trough to the load is the only consideration of the device requirements.
