Here it is three phases, at 400V. On a building, only the elevator would use that. Domestic users get only one of the phases, and the neutral, at 230 (Spain was 220, UK and some others 240. Now all are supposed to be 230). If loads balance, the neutral carries none or little current. I haven't seen that 240/120 split phase system here (I know what it is, I have lived in Canada some time).
The power system here is also 3ø, with one home connected to one phase, but that phase is split with a transformer to provide 240/120V as described earlier. Large buildings & industry get all 3 phases. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
