Electrical service entrance (what arrives at a Japanese house is not 100V)
What arrives at a Japanese house is not 100V but a single-phase three-wire 200/100V supply — the two outer conductors are 200V apart and either one is 100V from the neutral — which is why an air conditioner on 200V is not a separate supply but the one that was already there

Notes in the source (in Japanese)
家に来ているのは「100V」ではなく、「単相 3 線式 200/100V」。3 本のうち外側 2 本のあいだが 200V、中性線と外側 1 本のあいだが 100V。1980 年代以降の一般家庭はこれが主流で、エアコンや IH の 200V は別に引いてきているのではなく、もともと来ている 200V を使っているだけ。
配電線は 6.6kV。 配電用変電所から出た高圧配電線(6.6kV の三相 3 線式)が電柱を通り、柱上変圧器で低圧に落ちて家へ入る。20kV・30kV 級の配電線路や、11.4kV の三相 4 線式もある。
契約電力 50kW を境に、引き込みの形が変わる。50kW 以上 2,000kW 未満なら高圧引込(6,000V)——電力会社の柱上変圧器ではなく、需要家が自分で変圧器を持つ(店やビルの屋上・敷地にあるキュービクルがそれ)。「大きい建物にキュービクルがある」のは、契約の大きさが境を越えているから。
低圧にも種類がある。単相 3 線式 200/100V(一般家庭)/三相 3 線式 200V(動力。モーター)/単相 2 線式 100V(古い引き込み)/三相 4 線式 415/240V。同じ「低圧」でも、来ている線の本数と電圧の組み合わせが違う。
境の値は一般送配電事業者の託送供給等約款の供給電圧の区分(契約電力 50kW 未満は低圧、50kW 以上 2,000kW 未満は高圧 6,000V)。照合(2026-10-02):ENEOS Power「低圧と高圧の違い」https://www.eneos-power.co.jp/article/power-company/high-low-voltage-difference/
