The floor receptacle requirement includes receptacles of what voltage and amperage?

• A. 125-volt, 15- and 20-ampere
• B. 120-volt, 5-ampere
• C. 240-volt, 20-ampere
• D. 125-volt, 30-ampere

Answer: (A)

Floor receptacles are meant for general-use outlets in living spaces, so they are specified as 125-volt outlets that come in 15-amp and 20-amp versions. This pairing matches the common household circuits and the plugs devices use, providing the right current capacity for typical equipment without venturing into higher-voltage or higher-current applications. A 240-volt floor outlet would be for specialized, high-power equipment, not for standard rooms, and a 30-amp or a 5-amp rating doesn’t align with how most general-purpose outlets are required or rated. So the correct combination is 125-volt, 15- and 20-ampere.
