In my childhood I was electrocuted few times by 220V 50Hz. :-[ As you can see I?m still alive. 220V Power grid has more advantages: thinner wires and more devices per circuit breaker. More voltage means less electrical current for the same power. Most electric stoves and cloth driers sold in US are 200+ V anyway. Another big advantage: more good and excellent tools from Europe![]()
