Introduce 415/240 V as a standardized voltage

[CoolWill]

Which was unrelated to entropy so stick to the topic which is 415/240 V

How so?

 

[Besoeker3]

How so?

Now you are being inertially daft.

I just signed up for this forum because people on here are professional, polite, and non-political, I think you two need to shake hands or take it outside.

Totally agree!

Why?

That's not a very polite response or a very scientific argument.

I agree.
Both of you take a breath and start looking at each others positions with a little less attitude.

I don't think I've exhibited an attitude. It's hard to tell through text, I know. I'm having a good time. I haven't called anyone daft or any such. I'm genuinely curious as to why someone thinks it is important to tell Americans how much simpler it is done in Europe. His posts are often just that. There's an interesting pathology here.

Attitude was not the best word on my part, sorry.

One (sane) person cannot have an argument.

"Do not answer a fool according to his folly, or you yourself will be just like him."

“Never argue with a fool; onlookers may not be able to tell the difference.”

This dates back to electron tube radio sets and there was a time when houses only had 120v power.

Um, most all the tube based radios and TVs I worked on made in the 50s/60s were 117VAC. Going back into the 30s/40s they were 115 VAC. This 120 VAC stuff is new fangled crap....

Oh., and then there were the 115 V AC or DC sets, the All American Fives.

Yes, I have a Sears upright vacuum cleaner that has a 110 V AC or DC nameplate. The series would Universal motors with brushes, where the commutator changed AC to DC anyway.
