This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

North American ovens run on 240v, they probably just need to replace the heating element
But my EU oven runs on 380V-16A three-phase, because we in the Netherlands and Germany are special snowflakes.

Mines 5 phase. My Dad got because he works at oven.
My Finnish oven runs on 380V too, although it'd hard-wired insted of a weird plug.
That's awesome. You could probably run a proper kiln in place of your oven if you felt like it.
It's possible he's running it at 120v if the electrician did a bad job in the kitchen. 400v ovens are fairly common where I live and can run on 240v in a pinch (even if it's not recommended).
Not that I know such things, but I think 120V wouldn't even fully heat up an oven.
