If you wanted to know, here is why...


IanB:
Not to be picky or anything, but as per the video title and meter displayed in the thumbnail, North America uses 120 V, not 110 V...

I changed it, happy?
BTW, it used to be 110v and since it is a historical video...
MikeK:
Do countries that use 240V have two out-of-phase 120V lines (like the US actually has), or do they just have a single 240V line?
Gyro:
A single 230-240V Line and a Neutral.

Edit: That's unless you want to get into 3-phase supplies (typically not domestic, at least, not in the UK).
