Huh?  US power is 110 to 125 volts, 60.00 Hz.  
I think the numbers you quote are for a _combination_ of US and Japanese
power; Japanese is 100 V at 50 Hz if memory serves me right.

(Hang on; why rely on memory?  The World Radio-TV Handbook says
that Japanese power is 50 or 60 Hz depending on where you are; it
doesn't give the voltage.)
