Answer for USA, Canada and countries running a 60 Hz supply service.
A voltage of 600 volts is not as prevalent in the US as it is in Canada. The US operates on 480 volts. These voltages are mostly used in commercial and industrial applications where large motors and large loads need to be connected. In Canada and the US there are no 600 volt residential service drops that I have heard of.
All appliances for residential connections operate off of 120/240 volts in the single phase category and 120/208 volts in the three phase category.
What else can I help you with?
It comes into your home at 240 volt?
It is likely that you are referring to the standard voltage for residential electrical systems in many countries. In North America, it is 120/240 volts.
How is electrical energy delivered to the end users?
End users generally subscribe to an electrical service according to their power needs. A residential home, for instance, might have a three-wire, 220-volt, single-phase service rated at between 60 and 200 amps, to a service panel supplying 110-volt and 220-volt branch circuits. A commercial end-user may need three-phase 277/480-volt system supplied on 4 wires, rated for 800 amps overhead or more underground.
How do you reduce volt drops in cables?
You can draw less current, half the current gives half the amount of volt drop. Or use a thicker cable because doubling the cross-section area would also give half the volt drop.
What color of wires are found on a 120 volt duplex poutlet?
A 120 volt duplex outlet is the main type of outlet for residential outlet system. The wires are typically white and black, and there should only be two of them.

Can you use 208 volt lights on your 240120 volt residential service?
If its a filiment bulb, I'd say yes, if its other, then no. connecting it to a 240V grid would only make it go brigter (and probably a shorter service life)

Why is 240 volt electricity more dangerous than 12 volt electricity?
It is neither more or less dangerous . The determining danger factor is amperage.
What if you plugged in a 110 volt in a 120 volt?
Typically residential voltage may range from 110 to 120 volts so there should be no problem.
