- Rimintil 4y agoSingle family homes in America are 240v rails for large appliances, like stoves/ovens, furnaces, and dryers (two-phase). Technology Connections (YouTube) explains this fairly well: > https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jMmUoZh3Hq4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jMmUoZh3Hq4
- rootusrootus 4y ago> we're 240v and you guys are 120v right? No. The US is 240V single phase, with an option for split phase 120V on smaller circuits. Cooktops, ranges, and ovens are 240V (technically they're usually both 120V and 240V, but the high draw parts are 240V).
