Hello all.
When I test my apartment's electrical outlets they all read 128 Volts. Is this voltage high enough to cause appliances and electronics to degrade faster? And, does it cost you more money in kilowatt-hours? I purchased a voltage regulator. Does this save me from paying higher electricity costs?
Thanks.
Sorry for not completing the following
Using Ohm's law Power = Volt * Amp
Power is proportional to volts, so a rise in volts is a rise in power?
So, I purchased an APC voltage regulator. It outputs 115 volts now.
So my question is if I'm saving power energy now.
