If I am not mistaking most Russian multy-unit housing buildings constructed between late 1960s-1992 which are a majority of existing urban housing has 3 phase 380v in kitchen and 220v elsewhere. Bathroom is by default also a laundry room with washer and dryer installed so there are 220v outlets to run it.

And their televisions tended to explode if you didn’t unplug them when not in use.

“Bathroom is by default also a laundry room with washer and dryer installed so there are 220v outlets to run it.”

That’s ALOT of power!

I’ve been shocked many times with 120 V but only once with 220/240 V.

BAM! I was instantly 20 feet from the electrical box and flattened against a wall — no telling how far I would have travelled.

Thanks for the info!
