incongruence

There is a relation between single phase and three phase voltages. The three phase voltage can be obtained by multiplying the single phase voltage by ${\sqrt {3}},$ . Thus when the single phase voltage is 220V then the corresponding three phase voltage should be 380V (approximately). Likewise, a 230V single phase voltage corresponds to a 400V three phase voltage. However, in the table we see this fact is not observed for some countries (Iran for example). It should be corrected somehow. Kamranmohajeri (talk) 07:41, 11 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Type N in Paraguay?

When I deleted Type N from the plug type listing for Paraguay, I was reverted and indeed I have since found out that Paraguay has adopted that plug as a national standard, though so far its installation seems entirely voluntary. [1] [2] Does anyone know what's the current state of this? Are sockets of this type indeed being installed in Paraguay, or does the standard exist only on paper?
