Please help me with... Hello!

I came across the data in Wikipedia, today, for which I believe is wrong. It's about electricity in Slovenia. There is a table that says it is 230V, but in fact it is 220v. It's here:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mains_electricity_by_country

I don't know how to edit it, so I decided to just write here. Couldn't find any other possibility.

Thanks in advance for correcting that data.

Best regards, Alja Žehelj (from Slovenia) 89.233.115.214 (talk) 17:28, 14 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Most internet sources give the voltage as 230V. It makes sense as Slovenia is in the EU and the Single Market of the EU mandates 230V so that appliances can be sold and used across the EU safely. In actual fact, this is likely to have been a paperwork change only with adjustment on the supply tolerances. Much like the UK, which changed from 240V to 230V, but no physical changes to assets. 2001:4D48:AD5E:6000:692:26FF:FED8:F630 (talk) 14:04, 8 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

incongruence

There is a relation between single phase and three phase voltages. The three phase voltage can be obtained by multiplying the single phase voltage by ${\sqrt {3}},$ . Thus when the single phase voltage is 220V then the corresponding three phase voltage should be 380V (approximately). Likewise, a 230V single phase voltage corresponds to a 400V three phase voltage. However, in the table we see this fact is not observed for some countries (Iran for example). It should be corrected somehow. Kamranmohajeri (talk) 07:41, 11 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
