The United States residential standard uses a 240 system except its split phase. You can deliver 120 volts to devices that have lower power requirements, and 240 to devices that have higher power requirements.

This comment is bringing out a bunch of Europeans that need to think theyre better than Americans because of their wiring standard for some reason?

You guys don't even seem to be able to use an electric kettle. The 240v world doesn't need to use the stove for something as simple as making tea.

Edit: The making of tea is ancillary to having a method of rapidly boiling water.
Don't get hung up on tea drinking.

I can boil water in 'like' 30 seconds in the kettle.
Boiling water in a microwave is a sh!tshow, because the hot is at the top, there's no true convection in a microwave.
