[GreenKeys] Australian Power cords.

Been wondering something about your power. If you 
measured from each pin to ground what would the 
reading be?  If at the mid point can you pull any 
current from one pin to ground?

 >Yep,

 >We have been 240v since the dawn of time, then 
the Europeans mucked around with a standard and now we are 230v.

 >In typical Oz humor, we defined the voltage 
standard as being 230 V as the nominal voltage 
with a +10% to –6% variation at the point of supply, i.e., 253 V >to 216.2 V.


 >I had a mate of mine spend too much time in 
Europe and it made his brain go funny - He 
almost had a meltdown when I showed him the 240V from his >mains socket...
