What where they thinking with this whole split-phase 110/220Vsystem over there?
At least in Brazil, foreign companies built the first grids at a local level, leading them to use the standard of their countries of origin. That's why some cities have a 110V grid whole others resort to a 220V one, even though nowadays the national grid is fully integrated.
