Yes 230 volts is classed as single phase but it is not the only single phase voltage. If you take any two legs from a three phase system, the voltage from these legs is also classed as single phase. The 230 volt single phase is the output of a transformer whose primary is one leg of a three phase primary high voltage system. The 230 volt secondary is center tapped to give 115 volts before the tap and 115 volts after the tap, hence the common voltage of 115/230 that is used in North America.

What element has cable for a ring mains at 230v or higher?
the answer to this question is copper
Is the voltage provided by your V Hz AC wall socket actually V?
Rarely... Electrical companies reduce the voltage to save money on generating power. Most electrical equipment will still operate even if the voltage is within 5% of its rating. For example - in the UK, our mains voltage is rated at 240V, however - the actual voltage supplied is 230V.
What is the mains voltage in Cyprus?
220V
What is the voltage of portable power equipment used on a building site?

What power voltage does Europe use?
Most of Europe uses a 230V system.
What is the NEC minimum fused rating for a residence?
This will depend on your country and of course on your mains voltage. In New Zealand, 230v AC, 60 Amp would be a common mains fuse for a residence.
What is the frequency of ac mains in INDIA?
The standard AC mains in India is 230V/50 Hz .
Will a us car charger work in new zealand?
Mains voltage in new Zealand is 230v AC 50Hz. Mains plugs are 3-pin, with a vertical Earth, and two inclined pins for Phase and Neutral. (Same as Australia) If the charger you are referring to is the type that plugs into a cigarette lighter - these are common to all (?) cars.

Are Nintendo DS dual voltage?
No. While Nintendo manufactures AC adapters ('chargers') for both 230v and 110v locales, each charger works with only one voltage. For example, the USG-002(UKV) charger, supplied with DS Lites in the United Kingdom, only works with 230V. To use your Nintendo DS in a place with a different mains voltage from where you bought it, you'd need to buy another charger.
