Where do they have 110 V~ ???
North America. Here we have a 240/120V distribution system. You'd use 120 for small appliances, lighting etc. and 240 for heavy appliances such as stoves etc. The power feed to homes is 240V with a grounded center tap or neutral, so there's 120V either side of neutral.
Dual phase? Curious. Here (Spain) we have a three phase system. Voltage is 230 (was 220) live to neutral, with 230*sqroot(3) = 400 Volts from phase to phase. We have 230 for homes, and 400 (3 phases) for industries and heavy loads like lifts or air condiotining. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
