I want to ask how can we get 110V and 220V in our homes in Saudi Arabia

Or in other words
what is the wires that inters our home ????
I heared in this group about 120 and 0 and -120 and, but these are DC
and we get AC in our home and according to my knolage in AC we dont
have negative or positive because this is an altranating current .
PLEASE ANSWER ME WITH A CLEARE EXPLANATION
THANK YOU....................................



Voltages in Saudi Arabia are nominally the same as on the North American
continent. This is to say, 127 volts for most appliances, 220 volts for
heavy appliances. Both at 60 Hz line frequency. They use the same appliance
plugs as N. America for their 127 volt service, and the Euro round two-pin
plug for 220, as well as a larger plug for heavier appliances that has two
flat horizontal pins and a round pin for ground or neutral.
