The most common amperage of an electrical outlet in North America is 15 amps at a nominal voltage of 120 volts.
Another AnswerAlthough the above answer is precisely correct, TECHNICALLY, most outlets are capable of a MAXIMUM of 15 amps under specific circumstances, but that maximum is seldom realized.Amps are determined by the watts used by device and although 15 amps are available, most devices that plug into the wall are NOT capable of drawing 15 amps.
A typical North American outlet generates 120 volts of electricity.
In US, 110V - 60Hz AC power is supplied for domestic household use.
