Best Answer

In Europe, 230 V is the normal domestic supply whereas in the US it is 120 V. For an appliance of a certain power rating, the current taken will be inversely related to the voltage, by Ohm's Law, ie power = volts x amps. So the current at 230 V will be in the ratio 120/230 of that taken at 120 V

Why are electrical engineers needed?

To construct electrical systems upon which we base modern society.


What is electrical design?

Electrical Design entails planning, creating, testing or supervising the development and installation of electrical equipment, including lighting design, power systems, power distribution, fire and life safety systems, electronic components and voice and data communications infrastructure. Typically, an Electrical Design position is held by an electrical engineer who has a bachelor's degree or even a Master of Science in Electrical Engineering. The electrical equipment may be placed in commercial, educational, industrial, hospitality, residential, medical or government facilities.


What is the difference between an electronic engineer and an electrical engineer?

Electrical Engineers design, develop, test, and supervise the manufacture of electrical equipment such as electric motors, lighting, wiring in buildings, power generating utilities, etc. A bachelors degree from an ABET accredited university is required before one can purport to be an Electrical Engineer.Electricians install, connect, test, and maintain electrical systems. They might work from blueprints created by electrical engineers when they work with electrical systems.


What skills are required to do the electrical design job?

To have an electrical design job, you absolutely must be knowledgeable about hazardous area electrical systems. You may also need Microstation experience, design experience, and experience in an engineering industry.


Are central vacuum systems electrical?

Central vacuum systems are run by electricity. They were popular in the more 'elite' homes in the seventies and over the years have phased out. It is very rare to find a new home with a central vacuum.
