For many years, mainland Western Europe has used a mains electricity supply rated at nominally 220VAC @ 50Hz, while the UK used 240VAC @ 50Hz. Currently, ALL Western European supplies are classified 230VAC and most other countries follow this. However the US and Canada use 120 V @ 60 Hz.

Electricity for industries are supplied with high voltage.Domestic supply is with low voltage.
A modern power grid consists of many voltages and currents, all being interconnected by transformers, which trade off voltage and current. A typical power generator usually generates electricity at a few thousand volts AC, which is then stepped up to around 120kv for distribution, then stepped down to around 30kv, for secondary distribution, then finally down to 240v/120v for domestic use. Engineers typically measure the voltage of AC circuits using "RMS voltages" (Root Mean Squared voltages) This convention is used because of the varying nature of AC, and relates the varying AC voltage to an effective DC voltage. RMS Voltage for typical AC =Peak voltage / Square root(2) which is approximately equal to peak voltage* 70%
Voltage is the potential difference between the source & any point in the circuit. The forward voltage is the voltage drop across the diode if the voltage at the anode is more positive than the voltage at the cathode (if you connect + to the anode). Voltage drop means, amount of voltage by which voltage across load resistor is less then the source voltage.
Voltage gain is the ratio of the output voltage of an amplifier to its input voltage.

most domestic cars built since the early 80s have the voltage regulator built into the alternator.
Electricity is converted from High voltage, 3 phase on the grid to low voltage single phase for domestic use.
Domestic or Industrial Voltage. preferred size, type of mounting.
220V single phase (domestic) 380V three phase (industrial)
The domestic main line voltage varies from country to country.
Nothing can change electric current to voltage. You can compare "current " to rate of flow, while "voltage" is the energy level. Transformers can be used to increase or decrease the voltages of alternating current as is done from 'street power' to domestic power.
Pakistan has a 220 v 50 Hz domestic supply and the three-phase voltage is sqrt(3) times higher, or 381 v. Higher voltage are also used for three-phase power transmission.

In the UK, the two main types of voltage in use are 230 volts for domestic supplies and 400 volts for industrial supplies.
In general equipment that runs on any voltage higher than normal domestic and business supplies like the 400 v 3-phase standard in Europe. Examples are 3.3 kV and upwards.
