The actual paper version of “Electric Current Abroad” (“ECA”) was around in the early 1990’s when I was working at BSI’s Technical Help to Exporters” (“THE”) service, and, even then, I was pretty sure that it had quite a few errors/”generalisations”!– so I really do wonder if it ever got comprehensively updated before that PDF version was prepared, because, since then, far more, and more specific, info has become available via the internet and people in a huge number of countries???
Therefore, I would, again, treat info in ECA with that proverbial “pinch of salt”. John E Allen West London, UK.

The Electric Current Abroad PDF document also provides the number of wires from which you can possibly surmise the phase configuration. This almost appears to be the same data converted to a web page. I'm doing something similar on My Drive and combining ISO 2-letter country codes, travel advisory lookups, etc. and using query() for lookups. Surprising how much can be done in google sheets for scraping external website data. In the end, the power requirements need to be agreed upon in the customer contract, but getting ahead by providing a suitable product without customization is always a good idea.

It doesn't cover the phase configurations directly but does have a column for number of wires. https://www.worldstandards.eu/electricity/three-phase-electric-power/ On Wed, Oct 28, 2020 at 1:48 PM Douglas Powell <doug...@gmail.com <mailto:doug...@gmail.com> > wrote: All, In the distant past I struggled to learn what were the expected electrical voltage, frequency, and phase configurations (delta, wye, high-leg, etc) for commercial/industrial facilities in various countries. I know about IEC 60038 standard voltages, but standard voltages don't always represent real life in specific locales. What I wanted was a good country-by-country listing for three phase power. The source I most often used was "http://www.ita.doc.gov/media/Publications/pdf/current2002FINAL.pdf";. A 2002 reprint of the 1998 document, and now a broken link. After a generic search of www.ita.doc.gov <http://www.ita.doc.gov> , It seems it is no longer available. Yes, I realize the information was getting old but finding no up to date alternative, I searched elsewhere. And besides, It's not likely that such things like this change rapidly.

Does anyone know of a comprehensive resource for three-phase power in this world? No need to refer to orbital platforms, the moon, or other planets just yet. Thanks!
