Why do hotel bathroom sockets have two voltages: 1 10 volts and 240 volts?

There are two voltages in the hotel bathroom socket, one is110v and the other is 240v. The reason for this is the following:

There are two requirements for the evaluation of "three-star" and above hotels in the "Evaluation Standard of China People's * * * and National Star Hotels", one of which is "providing11220v uninterruptible power outlets". This is because in the bathroom area, because of the existence of water, the environment is humid and there is a certain risk of electric shock. In order to ensure personal safety, the power socket in the bathroom needs to follow special regulations.

1. The socket with the voltage of 1 10V is mainly used in the external area of the toilet. These areas are generally considered as safe areas, so 1 10V sockets can be used.

2.240V sockets are mainly used for some electrical equipment in the bathroom, such as hair dryers. This is because the voltage of 240 volts can provide more power to meet the normal work of these devices in humid environment.

At the same time, the use of 240 volt sockets in the bathroom has also undergone strict safety design and control to avoid possible personal safety problems.
