Europe is a collection of independent nations, many of whom have fought eash other bitterly since records began!!!! The voltage varies between 210 and 240 volts 50HZ. I am in the UK, and our voltage is stated as 230, but is usually measured as closer to 240. The average modern house has a 100Amp service coming in from the electricity supplier. Older properties may only have a 63A service. In continental Europe, certainly the western part, the voltage varies between 220 and 230, but I do not know what the maximum amperage is. I would suspect it is similar to that in the UK. The former eastern bloc countries have standardised on 220/230v but you will still find some "strange" installations, especially off the tourist trail. Note that all the voltages stated are single-phase, or live conductor to ground. Split phase, or 2-phase to give 120/220v is *very* uncommon is Europe. Three phase in Europe is (nominally) 400v phase to phase or 230v phase to neutral

Is 250 volt compatible in Europe?

Yes, 250 volts is compatible in Europe. In most European countries, the standard voltage for household electrical outlets is 230 volts. Devices rated for 250 volts can typically be used without issue in European countries. However, it is always best to confirm the compatibility of specific devices with the local voltage before plugging them in.

How is voltage determined on a light bulb?

Voltage on a light bulb is determined by the amount of electrical potential difference applied across its terminals. The higher the voltage, the brighter the bulb will shine. Light bulbs are typically rated to operate at a specific voltage, such as 120V for standard household bulbs.
