You know damn well it isn’t.
Its bit safer than 245 to earth. I started under the M&Q act in 1974, the maximum then was 50V 25-0-25. Getting power tools was getting to be a real problem. AEG I think it was, would make drills for us at about 4X the cost of 110V but we had to buy a dozen at a time.
M&Q relaxed the rules to 110V 55-0-55 in about 1982/3. We were happy, we could get jig saws and things that had never been available before.
I know damn well otherwise.
Appliances that work on 230V.....and I did say appliances.
I have a Black and Decker that does. And a soldering iron.
Our washing machine, electric iron, an oscilloscope, electric kettle, microwave oven, electric heater,
Most of the tools in our workshop do. Jig saw. circular saw, soldering irons, extraction fans for the soldering booth, grinder, linisher, pillar drill, etc... In fact our workshop and test bay have just 400/230. There is no 110V.
We are a manufacturing concern. Our output is mostly variable speed drives some up to 6,000 kW. Of course everything portable has to be PAT tested. And that's fine.
I could go on but, in deference to this being a US site, I won't.
