and the cables, the cables hanging from everywhere!

( btw, has anyone noticed in anime there are always frames of street cabling? Like those cylindrical transformes and thick cables. Almost cyberpunk! )



The transformers are a result of a the lower voltage (also used in America), for efficiency and to keep the required voltage the transformer needs to be nearer to the house.


We also have transformers in Europe, but they are hidden. Which incidentally makes them more reliable, as they are not exposed to the elements.
