I thought the US had 110V in their outlets. Did thar change? Did
you switch to 50Hz as well?

Most of the outlets aer 110 volts. But the service coming into the
house is always 220 volt, three phase, which is commonly split into
two 110 volt sides. (Except when there's 440 volt three phase,
which
is rare in residences.) Electric stoves and dryers (which generally
requires 200 volt, 3 phase) are common enough that pretty much all
homes have it available (I suspect it's required by building codes,
in fact).

Why are the three phases split into only two sides? What happened to
the third phase?
