The term "220-Volt" refers to a standard voltage level used in electrical systems, particularly in many countries outside of North America. This voltage is commonly used for household appliances, industrial equipment, and power tools, providing a more efficient energy supply for devices that require higher power levels. In contrast to the 120-Volt systems prevalent in the United States, 220-Volt systems can deliver more power with less current, which can reduce energy loss in wiring. Common appliances that may use 220-Volt include washing machines, electric ovens, and air conditioners.
