Re: Branch circuits
110 volt is an archaic designation.
Today the house service voltages are properly described as 120/240 on three wire services.
The NEC uses 125 volt, and certain equipment ratings will show 115 volt. The voltage from the utility co. does fluctuate -- "rolling brown outs" for instance. So if you actually measured the voltage on a two wire branch circuit you might get anywhere from 110 to 125 volts.
