I wonder how US came to standardise on 60 Hz and Europe on 50 Hz in the
first place.

Is it generally 50 Hz = 230 V (+/- tolerances) and 60 Hz = 110 V (+/-
tolerances) or are there some countries which have standardised on 230 V @
60 Hz or 110 V @ 50 Hz?

Thought it was 115V 60hz..


Think youll find its 120V @ 60Hz.
