I am trying to find out what the standard 3 phase power in europe. I am especially interested in the United Kingdom. We will be bringing over some equipment and I want to make it easy to connect up to normal service supply.
 
UK and Europe tend to apply IEC standards.
Please, visit
for official standards including official info.
 
In the UK the standard voltage levels for general customers are 240V line to neutral, i.e 415V line to line, 50Hz. Three phase supplies are usually supplied from a three or four pin welding socket, size depending upon the application. If more information is supplied regarding the equipment more specific data could be given. The main difference in Europe is that the voltage has been reduced to 220V ltn. Neutral and Earthing standards may also differ.
