Normally all the appliances in your household will run off the same voltage though the amperage and/or wattage may differ. Generally an electrical appliance will have the information you require either in the manual that came with the appliance or on the outside of its casing.

Voltage, watts and amps are directly related and it's important to understand how they work together, as having their respective values, enables calculations to be made in respect of electrical safety, running costs and consumption. For example, by having the amps and volts measurement, the wattage requirement of the appliance can be calculated, where by having the wattage and voltage can provide the amps rating. Watts (Watts = Voltage multiplied by Amperage)

A watt is a unit of electrical power and is used to measure the amount of power an appliance needs and consumes when working. A light bulb could be as low as 40 watts, where a washing machine could be as much as 3000 watts. Because wattage is a measure of electrical consumption, the cost of your electricity is calculated by it. The wattage on most household appliances are all different, so you change this for each item.
