Re:Why does the USA use 110V and UK use 230-240V? by bradleyjg on Tuesday August 29, 2023 @08:07PM (#37315902)
The answers and comments on [0] would seem to suggest that's not true.

Seems the power grid has the capability of delivering three phase power, but many (most?) homes in quite a few European countries don't actually have all three phases delivered.

Really all modern residential connections in Europe are 400V three phase electric power

You see if they don’t have it delivered, it’s not a modern connection. Conundrum solved!
