American power grid is based on 110-130 volts AC at 59/60hz. Most modern kitchens have a 20 amp circuit breakers for kitchens because of the many appliances. Microwaves are in the 800 to 1500 watt range. Fridges can be anywhere from 200 to 1,000 watts depending how new it is. Electric oven typically are 240 volts on a 30 amp breaker. Typically. Your mileage will vary.
