Why does uk use 240v




















Well done and thanks! Graham Coombs Railway Industry Association. Thanks for a great job on the custom leads. Quality workmanship, fast return, nothing seems too much trouble to you guys. Very genuine service David Daine. Thank you very much, your service and products are unbeatable Russell Butterfield.

I'm very impressed you can take a request for a custom cable and make ten of them within a few days and ship them out, and charge a very reasonable price. I recommend you to a lot of people - I've told a lot of colleagues and contacts at other companies how good you are. Paul Mansfield Taptu Ltd.

I must say that I'm impressed!!! The last time I was in the local music store, there was a never ending stream of moans from customers about the inability of the store to supply leads! I'll be putting "the word" around. George Cochrane. Fantastic help and service. Cable just arrived - outstanding service - thankyou. Frank Harrison. Just a quick note to say thank you for your help and assistance with the delivery problem recently.

I was very impressed with the polite and professional manner in which the issue was dealt with. Thank you once again for the very good service I have received from you today - I wonder if it's too much to hope that I will encounter such good service for the rest of the day - Ah well I can dream!!!!

Diane Stow Nottingham Trent University. Just a note to say thank you for such good advice and swift delivery. The leads for my speakers worked, once again thank you. I shall not hesitate to recommend your company or to use you again. Eve Beacham Whitmore Junior School. Order arrived safe and well. Thanks for the excellent service. I never imagined buying leads could be fun! David Rice. Just arrived, and it works brilliant!! Thanks so much : brilliant customer service.

Paul Kerfoot. Well made, pro leads - friendly guy's to do business with - I'm over the moon. I've worked with many people in and around the music biz, if more folk were like you it would be a far better industry!! Paul Rooney Vice Squad. Thanks very much, for the advice and speedy response to my request last week, all arrived the following day, much appreciated. Nice one Everything looks cool - I'll spend the day tomorrow re-arranging the studio and installing the new leads Chris Snowdon. In this day and age such excellent service is sadly not that common and in this case because we had originally ordered the leads incorrectly on the advice of our telecoms engineer your prompt action was all the more appreciated.

To have done this at no additional cost is all the more remarkable and I wanted to express my appreciation. I shall certainly recommend your services where appropriate. Thank you for your help. Alan Smith Arcane Direct Marketing. Just thought I'd drop you a quick note to say that thanks to your help and the products I bought from your company I now have my treadmill working again!

Many thanks Phil Wardell. I feel compelled to let you know how wonderful I think your service is. Your prices are mainly very competitive, and day delivery is normally less than 24 hours!

But the feather in your cap was the excellent service yesterday when at pm, despite believing the deliveries had already been picked up, your sales representative went and checked, just to make sure. Everything was waiting for me at the office this morning when I arrived just after 9am. Mark Belshaw Deaf Alerter plc. Excellent and expert service as usual. Many Thanks. Paul EPC Graphics. Superb service from initial enquiry to delivery in less than 36 hours. Dil Walters. From placing the order, to having the cable in my hand in less than 20 hours!

A mistake, however. Electric motors are much less efficient at the lower frequency, and must also be made more robust to handle the electrical losses and the extra heat generated. It has been deemed necessary to increase voltage to get more power with less losses and voltage drop from the same copper wire diameter. At the time the US also wanted to change but because of the cost involved to replace all electric appliances, they decided not to. At the time 50ss the average US household already had a fridge, a washing-machine, etc.

The end result is that now, the US seems not to have evolved from the 50s and 60s, and still copes with problems as light bulbs that burn out rather quickly when they are close to the transformer too high a voltage , or just the other way round: not enough voltage at the end of the line to volt spread!

Note that currently all new American buildings get in fact volts split in two between neutral and hot wire. Major appliances, such as virtually all drying machines and ovens, are now connected to volts. Although it may work on some appliances, it will definitely not be the case for all of your equipment.

The reason for this is that in the US V is two-phase, whereas in Europe it is single phase. Roughly speaking, to operate a particular appliance requires a particular amount of POWER, which at least for resistive loads is current times voltage.

If you double the voltage, you draw half the current to achieve the same power. The primary advantage of lower current is that you lose less power in the wires feeding current to the appliance or you can use smaller, cheaper wires for the same power loss rating.

On the other hand, the higher voltage is somewhat more dangerous if accidentally touched or if there is an accidental short circuit.

Some experienced electricians are relatively casual about touching V circuits, but all respect V. Current trends are toward the use of even lower voltages 24 V, 12 V, 5 V, 3. Power is rarely distributed at these lower voltages; rather it is converted from V or V by a transformer at the earliest opportunity. Even in North America, V is commonly used in residential appliances for most high-power electrical appliances ovens, furnaces, dryers, large motors, etc.

If we are talking about HVAC systems, they also have some requirements for installation. Higher power industrial applications often use V or more. You must Sign in or Register to post a comment.
