Discuss 110V vs 230V in the Electrical Wiring, Theories and Regulations area at ElectriciansForums.net
Hi,
Had a question today. Why do the yanks use 110V and the UK use 230V? What are the costs and benifits? Which one is better? Any help with this one is appreciated.
AFAIK they have 2 phases - one (black) at 110v and the other (red) 280° out, making about 230v between phases, which have a different type of plug and socket.
IMO this is just confusing - I don't see why they can't just use 230v for everything.
