In Mexico, the standard light voltage for most homes and businesses is 127 volts (V) at a frequency of 60 Hertz (Hz). However, it is important to note that there are two types of voltage in the country:<\/p>\n
Single-phase:<\/strong> 120 volts phase-neutral and 240 volts phase-phase. Three-phase arrangements are also available in:<\/p>\n Three-phase:<\/strong> 110 volt phase-neutral and 190 volt phase-phase In the industrial sector it is usual to use operating voltages of:<\/p>\n Three-phase:<\/strong> 254 volts phase-to-neutral and 440 volts phase-to-phase. According to Hector Mondragon, Monterrey Sales Manager, \u201cThere are two types of voltage in Mexico: direct current voltage and alternating current voltage. The Federal Electricity Commission (CFE) in Mexico supplies the alternating current voltage”.<\/p>\n Let’s remember that, for electricity to flow, it is necessary the electric tension or better known as voltage (V). This is classified into low, medium and high voltage levels.<\/p>\n These three concepts are closely related and are necessary to know how electricity works. Understanding their differences is important in order not to confuse them as synonyms.<\/p>\n Voltage allows the transfer of energy from a negative to a positive point. It is measured in volts (V) and determines the strength with which electric current flows. For example, when plugging a device into an electrical outlet, there are usually two holes. One in charge of the positive charge and one in charge of the negative charge; between the two there is a voltage difference which is what makes it possible to get to generate electrical power.<\/p>\n In simple terms, electrical power is defined as the amount of energy that a device consumes or generates in a specific interval of time. It is expressed in watts (W) and is calculated by multiplying the voltage by the current. This measurement allows us to understand how much energy is being used or produced by an electrical device at any given time.<\/p>\n Current intensity is the magnitude that determines the rate at which a certain amount of electrical charge will flow through a circuit. Current is measured in amperes (A) and its value is obtained by dividing the voltage by the resistance of the circuit.<\/p>\n In Mexico, plugs and sockets are type A and B.<\/p>\n
