Re:Why does the USA use 110V and UK use 230-240V? by tyingq on Tuesday August 29, 2023 @06:35AM (#37305645)
The one explaining that Edison's DC system they were competing with, in the US, was using ~100v DC. And the public disinformation campaign characterizing AC as unsafe. Including attacking anything higher than approximately 100v as unsafe. That seemed like it answered the question to me.
