Welcome to IWETHEY!

New 3-phase voltages.
First of all, Australia's standard is 240V RMS AC. We are one of the few to remain at 240 instead of dropping to 220.

Anyways. 3-phase voltage is usually referred to by the phase-voltage. For 240V, 3-phase is 415V. (For some reason, I seem to remember that 220V is 400V in 3-phase.)

New Huh? We just went TO 240, from 220! (BTW, hi--volt was 380v)
New Just went *to* 240V...?
That's very ... interesting. Maybe the forces trying to get 220V standardisation have been somewhat reduced in eficacy.

                 Hrm??? - (jb4) - (8)
                     He's right on safety. - (Andrew Grygus) - (7)
                         Then too: you actually *have* 220V coming in.. - (Ashton)
                         Isn't that exactly Edison's old anti-Tesla PR you're burpin? -NT - (CRConrad) - (5)
                             Yabut.. that's a can o'worms anyway. - (Ashton)
                             The very one - but Tesla pulled the wool . . - (Andrew Grygus) - (3)
                                 Yeah, wasn't that *sneaky*? - out M$'d M$.. -NT - (Ashton)
                                 But the POINT is, DC would have fried 'em just as well! -NT - (CRConrad) - (1)
                                     "Fry" is the operative word here. - (Andrew Grygus)
                 It's the waveform. - (imric) - (13)
                     Umm sorry. No. - (Ashton) - (12)
                         Ah, yes. - (imric) - (11)
                             Ah well.. now yer gettin fancy - (Ashton) - (10)
                                 *grin* You'd think! - (imric) - (6)
                                     Migawd.. it's in your genes! - (Ashton) - (2)
                                         Ya ever shake hands with a farmer? - (imric) - (1)
                                             My uncles ran a machine shop. - (Ashton)
                                     Expensive mistake - (broomberg) - (2)
                                         Well.. one possibility - (Ashton)
                                         220 UPS outputs - (Ric Locke)

                                         Just went *to* 240V...? - (static)
         Remains of Edison's anti-AC, pro-DC propaganda? Just a guess -NT - (CRConrad)
         Early adopters. - (addison) - (5)
             Like Cell Phones - (SpiceWare) - (4)
                 As I understand it, that's more due to market fragmentation: - (CRConrad)
                 CRC has that about right. - (static) - (2)
                     Not quite right -- GSM enforced by EU, CDMA is more advanced - (tonytib) - (1)
                         CDMA in .au, too - (Meerkat)
