The question is vague; the reason, probably why many did not offer an answer.

Not vague - just a typical science student's electrical homework or exam question!

120 volts and 240 volts at 60 Hz alternating current is used in USA, Canada and many other countries which have adopted that system as their national service standard.

230 volts at 50 Hz alternating current is mostly used in countries in Europe and many other countries which have adopted that system as their national service standard.

How many volts does a house run on?

120 volts and 240 volts. Typically 240 volts is supplied to the house electrical service entrance. It is split into it's 120 volt components via two buss bars. Hooking a circuit up to just one bar yields 120 volts. Hooking into both gives 240 volts.

If your house is wired for 240 volts do you have to have your house rewired for 230 volts?

No. 240 Volts was the nominal standard in Australia with a tolerance of +/- 10%, So the voltage could be anywhere between 216 Volts and 264 Volts. The change to 230 volts is part of international harmonisation between countries that use 220 volt standards and 240 volt Standards. The new tolerance levels are +10% and - 6%.

What is the electrical voltage from the house outlet to the power supply?

The average voltage a house outlet will give actually depends on how far of a distance the house is from a transformer on the pole. If the house is fairly close to the transformer, it will probably give around 120 volts. However, if the house is a bit far from the transformer, it will probably give around 107 volts.


Is 123.4 volts acceptable for house current?

Volts would be tension, not current. And if it's acceptable or not depends on what tension you're supposed to have.


Will a fan requiring 230 volts ac run on normal house current?

Yes if the house supply is 220-240 volts. The required voltage range should be printed somewhere on the fan.
