"Confirmed by looking at Aqualectric meter" is something like original research? Not a major editor so I'm not gonna actually go in and correct it, but like. Ellenor2000 (talk) 14:57, 9 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Help me!

[edit]

Please help me with... Hello!

I came across the data in Wikipedia, today, for which I believe is wrong. It's about electricity in Slovenia. There is a table that says it is 230V, but in fact it is 220v. It's here:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mains_electricity_by_country

I don't know how to edit it, so I decided to just write here. Couldn't find any other possibility.

Thanks in advance for correcting that data.

Most internet sources give the voltage as 230V. It makes sense as Slovenia is in the EU and the Single Market of the EU mandates 230V so that appliances can be sold and used across the EU safely. In actual fact, this is likely to have been a paperwork change only with adjustment on the supply tolerances. Much like the UK, which changed from 240V to 230V, but no physical changes to assets. 2001:4D48:AD5E:6000:692:26FF:FED8:F630 (talk) 14:04, 8 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Three-phase voltage for Belgium and Japan

[edit]

In the table section for Belgium, the three-phase table cell says 230/400 V. Although I can not verify, doesn't Belgium have similar systems like norway having both 230 V (three-phase without neutral) and 400 V (230 V/400 V star with neutral)? Although I don't think belgium commonly uses the IT grid, unlike norway. Now for japan, where is the source for the 415 V three-phase (either delta, or 240 V/415 V star) that is supposedly in use in Japan?


I'm new to the talk section, so I will do my best to follow guidelines on discussion boards. Additionally, I rarely edit wikipedia articles so I am not going to make edits yet. TheDIsco00010 (talk) 20:36, 30 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Saba and Sint Eustatius

[edit]

Dear anonymous editor: Please stop reverting and find sources. The ones I have found did not agree with you:

  • For Saba 110V/60Hz [1]
  • For Sint Eustatius, a combination of 110V/220V [2]

These sources might be wrong, but you need to provide better ones in order to introduce these island into the table. Викидим (talk) 20:35, 2 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Paraguay

[edit]

Hi I’m in Paraguay an extended period now, and there seems to be some inaccuracies in the tables. The high voltage plug type is not type N as is listed. the type N has the middle pin staggered from the other two pins, the plugs here have all three pins in a straight line. The voltage is listed as 220V, but in fact most plugs are 115 (nominal anyway). I have seen dozens of houses and stores now, the type C recepticals I have not yet seen a single one. The recepticals are all a hybrid that does both A and C. I have pictures, but don’t know how to forward them. I’ve looked at other sites. I have yet to see one with the correct information but especially with the type A being supported at a similar voltage to North America travel is easier than it appears, even if frequency is lower. I can’t recall my wiki editing account info and I can’t find a link with the correct information so I don’t know how to edit, I can be reached for more info at jrsbme @ yahoo.com if someone can help with editing.
