120V and 240V circuits wiring

Understanding 120V and 240V Circuits

The electrical panel in your home is rated for 120 and 240V to provide power for the variety of devices, devices and lighting we depend on every day. Receptacles and lighting typically require 120V which is supplied by a single pole breaker in your electrical panel and the wiring is ran throughout the home to each receptacle, light and light switch. Today’s homes rely heavily on the electrical systems, providing power to the numerous devices , small devices and lighting, to the big power loads like clothes dryers, ranges, air conditioning, hot tubs and EV chargers.

Benefits of 120V Circuit Wiring

120V wiring is most commonly used for receptacles and lighting fixtures, TVs and entertainment systems, Refrigerators, Microwaves, Laptops, and chargers, etc. This wiring is used for everyday use devices because lower voltage is generally safer and it also minimizes the risk of shock. Most of the daily use “plug in” devices are designed for 120V circuit wiring

Benefits of 240V circuit wiring

Electricians use 240V wiring for high-power appliances that require more power to operate efficiently, such as electric dryers, water heaters, electric ranges, central air conditioning units, hot tubs, and Level 2 electric vehicle chargers. This type of wiring delivers more wattage, making it ideal for power-intensive appliances like ranges and air conditioners. It also increases efficiency, as the higher voltage allows these appliances to draw less current.
