120VAC outlets around the house. What a great idea. I should look into that.

This is the U.S. General-purpose electrical circuits are 120. The
higher voltage is used almost exclusively for stoves, dryers, and
central air-conditioning compressors.

Grounded, Dave. That means three (3) wires, even the ground that is never
supposed to be used.

Perhaps when he said 'grounded', he was referring to a ground fault
protection circuit built into the extension cord.

But being an EE grad, surely he would have made the distinction.
