I'm not a power systems engineer, but it could be that changing the supply voltage would be a matter of changing taps on a transformer. As for flag day - I remember as a kid when there was a changeover to 60Hz in the hydro system. (Was it 20Hz before that? Something much lower.) Anyway, every electric motor in the house had to be changed. Must have cost a fortune.
