>Here in the states, a common power for commercial facilities is 208 delta >3 phase >Whats the 'equivalent' in Europe and Asia, if there is one at least? 3 ph. wye 380V (3*220V nominal - some countries have 240V) 50Hz with wye center just a few volts near protective ground. This is what you should find in all of Europe, Eastern Europe and Middle East for small business and residential use. Normally up to 40A per phase per receptacle (25kW max load - usually limited to less by local panels etc). Most places have local rules that require a special request/permit for loads over 5kW no matter what they're for. The rules are very different from place to place.
