You are right - 230V single-phase from the local substation feeding
the area.
You went with Tesla`s recommendation of 60Hz which is clearly "just
right" for long-distance transmission. Where out 50Hz is
unnecessarily slower and increases the size of transformers, etc.
The only 110V we use in the UK isn`t even "normal supply" - on
building sites we have centre-tapped transformers so in-effect have
-55V and +55V. Very safe.
230V is a bit too much for construction sites, for sure.
Residual Current Devices make 230V power tools acceptable for domestic
work.
