My stove and clothes dryer are certainly not 120V.
- tjoff 4y agoIn the same way that 240V countries run on 400V as well then?
- Kirby64 4y agoSort of. Outside of industrial or businesses, my understanding is that it is rare to see multi-phase power (400V) used in power applications. You may get 3 phases into your house, but the phases are used separately (each at 240V) for most things in residential.
- tjoff 4y agoStoves are pretty much always at three phases unless it is something like a small summer-house Washing machines too I've heard.
