The US electrical system is actually more than 120V

We are often taught that US outlets provide a standard 120V. This video explores the reality of the American power grid, revealing that the true voltage is actually the sum of two different currents.

While 120V is the commonly cited figure for the US electrical system, the actual voltage is higher. The video explains that the system's identity is defined by the combination of two different voltages, and in some instances, even a different pair of currents. Understanding this complexity provides a deeper look into the mechanics of how power is distributed and utilized in the United States.
