Default One circuit 125V, others 117V, why?

A 24 bulb tanning bed and each bulb is 110 watts. Kilowatt meter shows
it drawing 23.6 amps. Only motors are two very small muffin type fan
motors.


Does the tanning bed have a power usage plate on it somewhere?

If so, how much power does it say it's supposed to use?

Either way, 23+ amps is too much for a standard 20A circuit with 12 gauge
wire.
