The supply voltage in Australia is 415v 3phase, 240v single phase, both 50Hz. Although I have heard we are going to change to 400/230v , but that was only a rumour.

u.k same as australia 3 phase 415, single 240 50 hz..how unusual america different to every where else....

3 ph 415 Vac and 1ph 220-240 Vac both 50Hz Safety circuits in general area transformed from this down to 110V ac.

Central europe want Uk to drop 1ph down to 200Vac and 3Ph 400Vac, Although as u know drop volts and increase current so most uk wiring probably wont take the load, hope this is of use
