Simple answer is yes.
People will refer to it as 115v ac, 120v ac, or 125v ac, typically the accepted voltage of most appliances for consumer usage is 110-120 volts ac (alternating current). The purpose of the range is so the appliance is usable given how the transformer is wired from the electric supplier to deliver a single phase line. The addition of another line one of those lines witch is "out of phase" from the first creates the 220 or 240 volt ac. Your electrician should be using a "RV 30 Amp, 125 Volt, NEMA Tt-30R, 2P, 3W Power Receptacle". The 125 volt is the maximum voltage the outlet is rated for, not the nominal voltage. Hope this helps.
