[QUOTE="Doc Hudson, post: 478849, member: 1607"] What country are you referring to? The UK voltage tolerances that appliances have to work to are: 'Nominal 230v' +10% / -6%. So the permitted voltage range is 216.2v to 253v. How stable is your declared 240v supply. What min/max tolerance are allowed for variation? All appliances should work to a satisfactory level between the max min, of the country they are intended for. It is not a case that it would suddenly fail if the supply voltage wasn't exactly the same every day. That total 16% variation allows for over 36v difference that the same appliance must carry on working OK. How accurate is your assumed 20v difference? Doc H. [/QUOTE]
