You're getting confused. 110 to 120 (or more actually like 130)
is the permitted _RMS_ supply voltage range.

"110 to 120" is a quote from a particular poster. See the end of my
previous post.

The sinusoidal peak is
indeed in the 165V range.

Why would you think I'm confused? Do you disagree with what I said
about 117V RMS = 165V peak? About peak being 1.414 of RMS?

Neither. I was remarking on this:

mentioned "110 to 120", supposedly referring to the permitted range of
supply voltages. This differs from 165V.

My posting did say I agree with your RMS-Peak calculations.
But saying the peak voltage isn't in the permissible (RMS) voltage
range is rather odd way of discussing this, don't you think?

And that's why I said it. I mentioned peak to demonstrate it NOT
explaining the use of ONE PARTICULAR VALUE (117).

BTW, I accept "110 to 130" as being more applicable than "110 to 120".
This still does not explain what is so special about that particular
value (117).
