You're missing the point. This has nothing to do with the voltage supplied
by the utility. The utility doesn't supply 220V or 240V or whatever. They
supply (for example) 4KV. A transformer at the point of service reduces that
to 220V, or 240V, or whatever. Different transformers connected to the *same*
4KV primary voltage could easily produce different secondary voltages.

Indeed it does.

My single phase home 220 volt service runs between 245-252 volts

Pacific Greed and Extortion claims that is nominal and within spec for
home wiring.

Fortunately..most of my gear runs fine on this, with the exception of
the VFD on my Gorton mill. At times, it shows an over voltage alarm and
refuses to run until the voltage drops back down to under 246.

Ive called this to the attention of the local PG&E wanks..and they
simply shrug, send someone out to measure the voltage, confirm that
indeed its 252, blither a bit and then leave.

"Lenin called them "useful idiots," those people living in
liberal democracies who by giving moral and material support
to a totalitarian ideology in effect were braiding the rope that
would hang them. Why people who enjoyed freedom and prosperity worked
passionately to destroy both is a fascinating question, one still with us
today. Now the useful idiots can be found in the chorus of appeasement,
reflexive anti-Americanism, and sentimental idealism trying to inhibit
the necessary responses to another freedom-hating ideology, radical Islam"
