> Uk is 240V 13A which is a bit more powerful that the 110 v Us system.
Actually UK is 230V and North America is 120V.
Actually UK is 230V and North America is 120V.
"Following voltage harmonisation, electricity supplies within the European Union are now nominally 230 V ±10% at 50 Hz.[6] For a transition period (1995–2008), countries that had previously used 220 V changed to a narrower asymmetric tolerance range of 230 V +6%/−10% and those (like the UK) that had previously used 240 V changed to 230 V +10%/−6%.[7] No change in voltage is required by either system as both 220 V and 240 V fall within the lower 230 V tolerance bands (230 V ±10%)."

I don't know if 240V is actually being phased out now it's post-2008 but the mains of everywhere I've lived since 2008 has definitely still been 240V.
