Will research this more, maybe I read BS :). --- End quote --- Japan has 220V mains, just like the US has 220V mains. Two lots of 110V, with a 180 degree phase shift. --- End quote --- US is 240V, 120V x2, and Japan is 200V, 100V x2. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mains_electricity_by_country |

Yea, but can your outlets do this? |

I say that worldwide everyone should switch to 30 volts DC. Best and safest current for all purposes. |
