Re: Power distribution, was: 2-wire, unpolarized outlet ?
¿ªÔÆÌåÓýNick, Re I still hear people say "220" when they mean 240V.? How do you know which they mean? Right here the laws for 240 Vs 220 ??are simple, but complicated. ?You put 240V 0r 120 into your long extension and get 220 or 110 out at ?your compressor operating next to your vehicle, even though you have a #12 cord. Blame mr Ohm and others from back then ?in early 1800¡¯s who made our laws!!! ? From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Nick, W1NJC via groups.io

I always use a variac on my vintage gear set to about 115V to keep the filaments safe.? My line V is about 121/242 but at a previous residence it was sitting around 108V! I still hear people say "220" when they mean 240V.? I've also heard "house current" and "mains power". Go to the EU and you'll find 230V, 50Hz (UK is/was 240V), and of course those funky outlets.
