      I might’ve been unclear, I don’t mean 230 V by itself, but three-phase distribution. The standard socket is labeled either 3x16A 230V alternatively labeled 380V 16A. Typically uses an IEC 60309 plug that looks like this:

      Three phase has other benefits besides just more power, the US has it with their lower voltage as well, but typically reserved just for larger buildings.
