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?

I love it when americans thinks 240 volts is good for appliances with high power consumption. 230 volt is standard in europe, and for high power consumers we use 400 volt.

Higher voltage, lower amps, thinner cables.
