Hi
What I know European standard is 230V, min 207V max 244V. ( standard -10%+6% ). It has been discussion about standard -10%+10% but what I know it is not decided.

I've just checked mine at 12.15hrs and it's around 247V with a frequency of 49.8Hz. I'm only using my plugin Power Monitor 'cos I can't be bovvered to mess around with a meter! It's normally around 240V+. I'm in Southampton. Perversely the Maplin Power Mon is rated at 230V! (made in China of course)
Amanda, surely electrical/electronic gear is OK for sustained 240 - 250V? If not, then I'm in trouble!

It is, but better use some surge protection device at least...

I stand corrected. Apparently the limit was changed in 2003 to +/- 10%; equating to 207V to 253V. It follows logic that all electrical equipment designed for use in Europe must be able to operate within this range, or it's "Not Fit For Purpose". All our vintage amps (anything before, say, 2000!) will be fine!

We used to have 220V in France. I checked it a few days ago, and again right now, and in both cases it was 225V !
