Heh, back in the days we had in Bucharest 120/208 Volts. Last area with this voltage was transfered to 220/380 Volts in 1976. It was in the city center, on Calea Victoriei (Way of the Victory) area. They introduced 220 Volts in some villages around Bucharest (in 1950 some becamed part of the city). Durring comunst regime new neibghours and some new buldigins where put directly to 220 Volts. I think in my are some apartament buldings constructed in 1963 had 220 Volts, while the old house had 120 Volts. The neiberghood was switch to 220 Volts in the late '60's?
Oh, the old transformers had 5.000 Volts coming from the big transformers (it was an are with 6.000 Volts). 5.000 = thousand. After that they rasied the voltage to 10.000 Volts (10 k.V.)
We have D.I.N. electric sockets.
Nowdays the Voltage is 230/400 Volts. And in some are the voltage that feeds up the area transformer is 20.000 Volts.
