  1. if it's the 240v single phase split phase then it can work but there's the 60hz problem: if the device says 50/60hz then it'll work just fine if the 50hz device has a motor then it may not work properly or even break if the 50hz device is an ac/dc adapter like an rvl-002(eur), rvl-002(ukv) or rvl-002(aus) then it'll likely still work with 60hz

  2. most european houses (& even some apartments) are actually 400v 3 phase
    3
  3. in europe 3 phase breakers disconnect all phases at the same time

  4. in mainland europe most houses & even some apartments get 3 phase 230/400v 50hz

  5. most european houses are 230/400v 3 phase

  6. ​ @pleappleappleap if the 3 phase motors are 400v 50hz then yes

  7. ​ @Gazer75 for some reason most uk homes are only 230v single phase even though it makes no sense

  8. ​ @bobingabout in mainland europe even some apartments get 3 phase because it allows for thinner wires (5g6mm² for 3x25a instead of 3g16mm² for 1x50a)

  9. ​ @bobingabout i'm specifically talking about the home consumer unit

  10. do you mean c10 mcb?

  11. only rated at 10a? where do you live? the schuko plug is rated at 16a

  12. ​ @Mcfreddo do you live in australia?

  13. i hate 120v because my room is 1800w instead of 2300w & my kitchen is 4800w instead of 7360w

  14. ​ @HelloKitty-x4u6d  our 120v extension cords aren't safe because you can easily need 15a or even 20a of current
    1
  15. ​ @GH-oi2jf what about a microwave oven for example? it consumes about a half of a 120v 20a circuit but only about a third of a 230v 16a circuit
    1
  16. ​ @GH-oi2jf my kitchen only has 2 20a circuits for everything
    1
  17. ​ @pontiacg445 the fridge should be on its own 15a circuit
    1
  18. what? the kilowatts would be the same but the wires would be thinner because they'd have to handle less current

  19. how big is your apartment? mine is 120v 2x60a

  20. don't you use 3 phase ranges?

  21. are you talking about british electricity? most european houses (& even some apartments) get 400v 3 phase
