A 'service mains' is not associated with an electricity 'transmission' system, but with a low-voltage 'distribution' system. The service mains is the name given to the cable that connects a building to the low-voltage mains supply.
Rising mains come up from underground so they are less likely to be affected by weather conditions and they are not an eyesore.

-- proliferation of electrical and electronic devices in the home, leading to a surprising and shocking bill at the end of the month; -- excessive current flowing in an inadequately sized conductor, leading to overheating and possible fire; -- grave mortal danger to a human person, caused by placing his body in-circuit between the mains supply and a grounded point. Note that none of these risks is "caused by" the mains voltage. Any risk is due to careless and inattentive handling of the mains supply by people responsible for its proper use. In this respect, mains voltage is no more risky than a car, a bottle of sleep aid tablets, a pistol, or a discarded banana peel.
Same as the American standard, 110/120V at 60Hz. A Google search for "International Mains Voltages" will provide lists of the voltages and frequencies in many countries.
Because the appliances operate at voltages that are lower than the mains (supply) voltage.
Tourmaline is the state mineral of Maine.
This is your lucky day. The standard mains supply everywhere in the US is 120 V AC 60 Hz.
It takes the mains supply and converts it to various lower voltages, suitable for the electronics in the computer. Usually 5v 12v 3v
Tolerances are about +/- 5 percent. Scroll down to related links and look at "List of countries with mains power_plugs, voltages and frequencies - Wikipedia".

In short, no. The power supply takes the alternating mains voltage and reduces it to the low voltages and direct current needed by the components of your PC.
