220 Volt is a common mains electricity voltage. It may also refer to: 220 Volt Live, a 1993 album by Tangerine Dream; 220 Volt (band), a Swedish heavy metal band active in the 1980s and 2000s; 220 Volts , a 2011 Brazilian comedy show on Multishow hosted by Paulo Gustavo
Their first album 220 Volt was released in 1983 and sold around 10,000 copies in Sweden alone. In addition to Sweden, the band gained popularity in Japan, Germany and the United States. In 1984, the band performed with Nazareth (12 concerts) and in 1986 with AC/DC (7 concerts). In 1992, 220 Volt disbanded.
220 V [16] 220 V 380 V 60 Hz [17] Before standardization, socket types varied: C (very old installations), I (for air conditioners), and combinations like A/C and A/B/C. British Virgin Islands: A, B 110 V 190 V 60 Hz Brunei: G 240 V 415 V 50 Hz Bulgaria: C, F 230 V 400 V 50 Hz Burkina Faso: C, E 220 V 380 V 50 Hz Burundi: C, E 220 V
Usually the voltage of 230 V ±3% is maintained. Some areas of the UK still have 250 volts for legacy reasons [citation needed], but these also fall within the 10% tolerance band of 230 volts. In practice, this allowed countries to have supplied the same voltage (220 or 240 V), at least until existing supply transformers are replaced.
220 Volt Live is the forty-eighth release and seventh live album by Tangerine Dream. It was recorded live in the US in 1992. It would be the last live album to feature new compositions until Inferno (2002). This may be considered some of the band's most rock oriented music so far, with guitarist Zlatko Perica's playing being a more prominent ...
The SI unit of work per unit charge is the joule per coulomb, where 1 volt = 1 joule (of work) per 1 coulomb of charge. [citation needed] The old SI definition for volt used power and current; starting in 1990, the quantum Hall and Josephson effect were used, [10] and in 2019 physical constants were given defined values for the definition of all SI units.
The waveform of 230 V and 50 Hz compared with 120 V and 60 Hz. The utility frequency, (power) line frequency (American English) or mains frequency (British English) is the nominal frequency of the oscillations of alternating current (AC) in a wide area synchronous grid transmitted from a power station to the end-user.
Most of the Americas use 60 Hz AC, the 120/240 volt split-phase system domestically and three phase for larger installations. North American transformers usually power homes at 240 volts, similar to Europe's 230 volts. It is the split-phase that allows use of 120 volts in the home. Japan's utility frequencies are 50 Hz and 60 Hz.
