@emiliodasparky: EU 230V - SINGLE-PHASE US 120/240V SPLIT PHASE Why does a US residential panel have two hot legs, while a typical EU single - phase panel uses one live conductor at 230V? ⚡️ EU / L - N = 230V US / L1 - N or L2 - N = 120V US / L1 - L2 = 240V I also compare MCB's RCCB's/RCD's and single-pole vs double-pole breakers inside both panel systems. Simplified residential examples - Actual layouts and requirements vary by location, equipment and adopted electrical code. Which system do you work with? 👇💬 #electrician #electrical #electricaltips #apprentince #electriciansoftiktok

Americans still wiring their houses up like a 1950’s Soviet Union Tractor Factory is really something.

Most of Europe offers 3 phase for residential housing, allowing for faster EV charging and great for running all the unnecessary, vital tools in the man cave 😇

Wait. Does that mean US don't use PE and RCD? That sounds dangerous.

Europe 230/400V, single phase (L-N): 230V, tree phase (L1-L2-L3): 400V.

Most residential houses have three phase coming into the house (mainly used for the kitchen oven and hob, maybe used for the waterheater as well) The three phases are divided up and inside the house it’s 240v single phase.
