Default 280V motor on 230V circuit

writes:

The really strange thing is Brazil has 220 volts all around the country,
with 60 Hz in some parts and 50 Hz in others, and used to use the American
120 volt 2-blade outlet/plug with 220 volts (you can be in for a surprise
with that).


The Philippines uses 220V 60Hz with US-style 2 blade outlets as well.
