I can understand why ranges, heaters, AMPLIFIERS and
other high power devices need a 240V supply, and I can
understand why in North America that supply is
balanced around neutral. What I don't understand is
why, when they decided that ranges needed timers and
clocks and all the rest, they didn't just power the
electronics from 240V? After all, most of the rest of
the world uses 230V for everything.

Roger, I have been asking myself that for years, but I think it has to do
with $$$$ some way or another. Lou
