How many volts are in a wall outlet? The actual voltage supplied to a home from the electric utility is 240 volts, split across two legs.. Most outlets are wired to one leg and a neutral leg. This provides half the total incoming voltage, or 120 volts. 240-volt outlets are wired to both of the incoming legs, providing the full voltage.
Household Wiring. The standard U.S. household wiring design has two 120 volt hot wires and a neutral which is at ground potential. The two 120 volt wires are obtained by grounding the centertap of the transformer supplying the house so that when one hot wire is swinging positive with respect to ground, the other is swinging negative. This versatile design allows the use of either hot wire to supply the standard 120 volt household circuits.
