    JPM our electrical system in the USA is not perfect, but our codes are second to none. Goberment has no input on codes, they just enforce them. Codes are made by pros. However since we were first to electrify we chose a very poor voltage to make Edison very rich and the largest manufacture in the world called GE. Morgan bought Edison out and put him out of biz. Anyway we started with 110 because that is what Edison's Light Bulb required.

    Today we use 250/125 standard which is piss poor but no way out of it. 125 volts is unbalanced, noisy, and dangerous. Sure you could wire your home for 250 volt circuits which is fine for HVAC, ovens, and water heaters. Good luck finding any 240 volt gizmo's in the USA to plug in and use. You would have to import from Europe.

      I'd say they have bigger problems than a missing hand or feet. Copper thefts probably went way down in that area after this event.

                The way the project was designed sounds more appropriate for where it is to be implemented.
