English term

"rotated power" and "rotated voltage"

English to French Tech/Engineering Electronics / Elect Eng elements from coffee maker specifications
I am struggling a bit with the distinction between both terms and their respective translations. And with the meaning of "rotated" here.

CONTEXT:
It is in the section "Specifications" of a coffee maker. I don't have a lot of context for those, I am afraid, other than the following below:

>> Rotated Voltage: 120V
>> Rotated Power: 550W
>> Anti-Drip Feature
>> On/Off Button with Light Indicator
>> Auto Off Safety Control

Thank you! :)
Proposed translations (French)
4 +2 puissance / tension nominale
4 +2 puissance nominale / tension nominale

How to split points? It's impossible, as you found out. Most askers tend to select the quickest answer, but this is unfair for several reasons:
Not every peer is always on-line connected.
Most e-mail clients scans for e-mails to download periodically, Outlook all 30 minutes, for instances.
Only a few peers follow KudoZ continuously, if nothing else to do.
KudoZ assumes that answers, which are not posted immediately, but search for references first and may or may not post the same term, have founded their proposal better than that posted quicker, but without any substantiation.
KudoZ assumes too, that a peer who dislikes to agree, is not convinced or not satisfied about the first answer or its substantiation and looks for better foundations, even this needs more time and he surely will got no agrees in the meantime. But this is more beneficial, I suppose.

What can the asker do? Assess all proposals and choose that, which is justified at the best.

puissance nominale / tension nominale

"rotated"?

English?
Note from asker:
I am sorry I didn't select your answer although it was also the right one. And posted at the same time as the other one! I contacted Proz Support to understand how I could split the points, because it was a delicate situation. In the end, it is impossible... So I just chose one of the answers randomly. :-/
