List Of 3 Phase Voltages And Frequencies (Hz) Around The World - Knowledge

When it comes to the voltage used for appliances and equipment, the two leading continents-the America and the Europe-distinctly differ. Europe uses 220 volts, while North America uses 110 volts. Asia and Africa, influenced by Europe, have followed their lead.

Three-phase electricity can handle the power needs of larger, more powerful devices. Therefore, it's more commonly used in commercial and industrial settings to power large, power-hungry appliances. However, if you already have a large air conditioning system, a large furnace, a powerful tankless water heater, or a home workshop with mechanical equipment, three-phase electricity may be more suitable for you.
