I've often wondered why the US chose 120V for local mains distribution when most of the rest of the world chose 220 to 240V - half the current, half the loses, half the copper needed(expensive stuff). You can get electrocuted just as fatally at 120V as you can at 220V so anyone know why the US chose 120V?  |  IP: Logged Steve Kraus Film God Posts: 4094 From: Chicago, IL, USA Registered: May 2000 posted 01-09-2003 07:08 AM                    Can be electrocuted. Sure. But far less likely to be.  |  IP: Logged Richard Fowler Film God Posts: 2392 From: Ft.
