Hi, Have worked in Kuwait a few years ago. In many places there seems to be no particular standard and they will hook up to any supply thats available. 3 phase boards with nail fuses etc with supplies going off in all directions!!! It will depend where you go. The more affluent newer area's will have supplies and equipment similar to either the UK or USA (depending on the country)Places like Kuwait,Jordan, Oman and the UAE tend to be UK type where others like Saudi will be US. Many of the older places have a hit and miss supply system so many people run a generator aswell.
