DC was never really used here in Ireland, except at the very very early stages of electrification late 19th and early 20th century and then really only for lighting. (It was derived from the tram systems) ESB switched over to 10kV & 220/380V 50 Hz distribution very early on.
When did other countries in Europe switch over to 220V/380V 50Hz AC? And were there other systems in use in between? (I know the 127/220V system was, but when was that phased out? How did it work? How was it presented etc?)
We were pretty boring and had 220V + Bonded Neutral since the 1920s.
