From watching a bit of YouTube, I think Canada’s kitchens have more 220 outlets than American kitchen. They even seemed to have dual outlets with each outlet on a different phase, so all the ingredients are right next to each other to get an outlet un between phases.
- b112 4y agoI have never seen a 240V wall outlet, in a house, anywhere in Canada ever. They literally do not exists as a standard. Not sure why you'd think so, but no. (ovens and dryers are not wall plugs)
- dghughes 4y agoI'm in Canada in The Maritimes in PEI my electric stove uses a big honking plug for 240V/220V that plugs into the wall. Not wired directly but an actual plug.
- tlb 4y agoI installed a 240V NEMA 6-15 socket in my kitchen in California. It's similar to a regular US/Canada plug but the blades are sideways [0]. It's allowed by the code, but not very common. Then I took a European electric kettle and put a matching plug on it, and I can boil a teapot worth of water in 60 seconds!
