Hi,
Had a question today. Why do the yanks use 110V and the UK use 230V? What are the costs and benifits? Which one is better? Any help with this one is appreciated.

At the 110v side am i right...

If you are planning on installing a standard 16A 110Volt socket outlet to a normal 230V single phase installation is there anything different you have to do than if you were installing a 230V socket? i thought the socket itself incorporated the transformer to take the voltage down to 110 or is...
