@zleap @futurebird They're busy doing exactly that aren't they? As in, it's 240V coming into new houses and then they have transformers in the homes to scale it down to 120V for small appliances where dryers/ovens etc have special plugs and run directly off the 240V circuit
@mansr @lampsofgold @futurebird I worked on an oil rig which had both 110V and 240v sockets available, and plugged a US VT220 computer terminal into a 240V socket. The device ends of the cables were IEC 60320 C13/C14 connectors, with different mains plugs, and there were plenty of both types available. It ran for several days 😀
@Nickiquote @alwirtes @sk76 @futurebird at University (a long time ago!) some of the halls of residence were fitted with 2 amp sockets an students bought 13A extension socket blocks and fitted them with 2A plugs. You could trace the wiring in the room by the warmer patch in the wall when a kettle was in use!
