In Norway it is 230 Volts, 16-25 amp, 60 Hz, grounded

In rest of Europe it is 110 Volts 10-15 amps, 50 Hz, probably grounded too.

Does line to ground voltage always half the value of line to line voltage?

Line to Ground voltage = line to line voltage / 1.73AnswerIt depends what configuration is being measured. In the case of the secondary of a split-phase distribution transformer used to supply residences in North America, the answer is yes. In the case of a star (wye) connected secondary distribution transformer used to supply residences in Europe, no: the line to ground voltage will be as described in the first answer.


What is the electric current voltage in Egypt?

220V single phase (domestic)380V three phase (industrial)AnswerThe voltage in Egypt is 220 V @ 50 Hz, compatible with most of Western Europe, but not with the US and Canada (which also have different plugs).


What is the power frequency voltage?

It's unclear whether you are asking about frequency or voltage. The frequency and voltage are specified in the relevant national standards, regulations, and legislation. In North America, for example, the residential nominal voltage is 240/120 V at 60 Hz. In Europe, the residential nominal voltage and frequency is 230 V at 50 Hz. By 'nominal', we mean 'named'. National regulations allow these values to vary within specified limits.


What do you think the voltage supplied to each circuit is?

The voltage supplied to each circuit typically depends on the design and requirements of the specific application. Common household circuits in the U.S. usually operate at 120 volts, while larger appliances may require 240 volts. In other regions, such as Europe, standard voltage is often around 230 volts. For specialized circuits, the voltage can vary significantly based on the equipment or devices being powered.


Have a voltage difference across the two holes of an electrical outlet and a generator at a power plant provides this voltage difference?

First of all, let's get the terminology correct -there is no such thing as a 'voltage difference'. 'Voltage' is another word for 'potential difference', so 'voltage difference' would mean 'potential difference difference', which doesn't make any sense! So you should be referring to the voltage across the holes of an outlet, not the 'voltage difference' across those holes.The voltage produced by a generator in the power station produces a much greater voltage (up to 30 000 volts) than the voltage that appears across your outlet (120 V in North America or 230 V in Europe). Furthermore the generator's voltage gets increased even higher (hundreds of thousands of volts) before the electricity transmission can take place. Eventually, those high voltages are reduced, using transformers, until it reaches your outlet.

Where a 110v mains is not available on sidewhat device is commonlyused to provide the required reduced low voltage?

In Europe, where the voltage is 230 v (nominally), hand tools used on building sites commonly use a 110 v centre-tap supply for safety, with the centre-tap earthed so the maximum voltage to earth is 55 v. Portable transformers with two 16-amp output sockets are often used and they can be found for about £30.
