  2. Mains electricity by country - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mains_electricity_by_country

    (For industrial machinery, see industrial and multiphase power plugs and sockets.) Some countries have more than one voltage available. For example, in North America, a unique split-phase system is used to supply to most premises that works by center tapping a 240 volt transformer. This system is able to concurrently provide 240 volts and 120 ...

    The United States and Canada use a supply voltage of 120 volts ± 6%. Japan, Taiwan, Saudi Arabia, North America, Central America and some parts of northern South America use a voltage between 100 V and 127 V. However, most of the households in Japan equip split-phase electric power like the United States, which can supply 200 V by using ...

    This map reflects the nominal voltage of residential buildings of most countries. In the USA and Canada, there are 2 nominal voltages: 120V and 240V concurrently. This is not a 3 phase system and 240V is not a phase-phase voltage. This system is unique and is only used in certain parts of the world. 230/380V in Europe does not use a similar system.
