    While the US system gets called 110/220, my house actually puts out ~242v. Right now I have a smart plug saying 121.5v.

    And since you mentioned the word “plugs”, here are our 220 15a and 20a outlets.

        And the standard includes a plus or minus that I don’t remember: it’s unreasonable to expect an exact voltage and everything is built with that in mind
