What is the standard power voltage provided by MERALCO?

The standard power voltage provided by MERALCO, the main electricity distributor in the Philippines, is 230 volts. This voltage level aligns with the common electrical system standards used in many countries, especially those that fall into the European standards for electrical supply.

Utilizing 230 volts allows for efficient power distribution and minimizes energy losses over transmission lines. Appliances designed for this voltage can operate effectively without the need for additional transformers or converters. In contrast, the other voltage levels listed, such as 110 volts and 120 volts, are typically used in different regions, notably North America, and are not the standard for MERALCO.
