Someone will have the figures but I was told the narrow band round our 240V fits inside the wider band round 230V. Locally something could have changed of course. |

Yes back in the 80s there was a home computer called the Lynx. It was a
fairly good machine for the money but a lot of the power supplies went down due to being made for 210 5o 230 mains. . I know they did get very hot, but I find myself still sceptical that running them at around ten more volts rms would cause the problems observed. they said made in France but who knows what rubbish they were actually made from. Another friend of mine bought a small TV in Hong Kong around the same era which was supposed to be plug and play anywhere in the world, and the t v did, but the power supply welded itself to his coffee table it got so hot.

Someone will have the figures but I was told the narrow band round our 240V fits inside the wider band round 230V. The UK supply voltage used to be 240V ±6%, which is 226V - 254V European voltage was 220V. Assuming the same ±6% tolerance was used, it could vary from 207V to 233V. Europewide it is now 230V ±15% (I think) which is 200V - 264V. A 10% tolerance would be better: 210V - 253V, so perhaps my memory is playing tricks on me. Antway, as you say, no change the supply volage change is/was necessary either side of the Channel. The last time I looked we were still running 240V and most of mainland Europe 220V, we just rewrote the tolerances to harmonise the different supplies. So French nominal 230V is -10% +6% (207V - 244V) and English is 230V -6% +10% (216V €“ 253V) |
