Do you plug into 120 or 240 on your generator for home use?

Most portable generators are designed to operate on 120 volts. This means that you will need to plug your appliances and devices into the 120-volt outlets on the generator. If you have any appliances or devices that require 240 volts, you will need to use a voltage converter to step up the voltage from 120 volts to 240 volts.

Here is a table that summarizes the voltage requirements for common household appliances and devices:

| Appliance/Device | Voltage |

|---|---|

| Air conditioner | 240 volts |

| Clothes dryer | 240 volts |

| Dishwasher | 120 volts |

| Electric oven | 240 volts |

| Microwave oven | 120 volts |

| Refrigerator | 120 volts |

| Washing machine | 120 volts |

If you are not sure what voltage your appliance or device requires, you can check the owner's manual or the label on the appliance or device.
