What does 3V3 power mean?
3.3 volt
3V3 – Pin 1 and 17 This means 3.3 volt. The 3V3 pins can be used power low energy consuming parts, like a couple of LED’s. The 5V0 pins can be used to power more energy consuming parts, like more LED’s, a small motor, a servo, etc…
What is the maximum power derived from 3V3 power pin?
The 3v3 supply pin on the early Raspberry Pi had a maximum available current of about 50 mA. Enough to power a couple of LEDs or a microprocessor, but not much more. All Raspberry Pi since the Model B+ can provide quite a bit more, up to 500mA to remain on the safe side, thanks to a switching regulator.

When to use 3v3 or 1v8 type notation?
After all, using a decimal point is part of the language no less than the words used to describe other things, so this is not ambiguous. In rare cases when numbers are by themselves without a language context, then it’s probably best to use the “3V3” type notation.
