I'm a little confused about a 230 volt circuit. In what part of the
world does the utility supply 230v?


Continental Europe used to have 220 volts (before that it was 127 volts in
some places), the UK used to have 240 volts. Nowadays, the common voltage
is 230 volts -10% +6%.



In other words, nothing has changed. They just wrote sloppier specs.
