No, that still relies on users not being stupid. Multiple AC standards in 1 building is just dumb, period.

- bluGill 3y agoMultiple AC standards is just fine, so long as all the sockets are physically different so you can't screw up. Electricians are expected to know all the weird rules and get things right, but normal people can't make a mistake so it works. Almost all US houses have two voltages, but since the sockets are obviously incompatible it all works. I've seen industrial buildings that have more than one grid connection (and in one case they paid extra to ensure the grid connections went to different sub stations)
