N nhee Member Jul 17, 2003 #1 Is anyone familiar with the 220 VAC/60 Hz distribution system used in Korea? Specifically - would a 220 VAC fixture require single or double pole switch.

Therefore, if this is a 220-volt to ground circuit, one pole is needed. If it is 220-volt line-to-line, than a two pole would be needed.

N nhee Member Jul 17, 2003 #3 Re: S Korea Electrical Distribution Agreed. I guess my question should have been, is the S Korean System 220 VAC L-L or L-N?
