Ah yes, I'll just replace all my power sockets, get rid of all my electronics, and only buy imported European electronics from now on.

It's so obvious, why didn't I think of it before.

Oh yeah, and rewire my whole house to 240 V. Easy peasy.

To be fair, switching to 240v is pretty easy, just move the neutral to a hot leg in the fuse box.

Wouldn't that hot leg need to be 180 degrees out of phase with the other?

Yes but I was’t trying to write a book this morning.

[-] Bgugi@lemmy.world 1 points 6 months ago

I'm no electricityologist, but wouldn't that make half your circuits 240V and the other half deadly 0V?

Major side benefit of finally having a decent vacuum cleaner..
