Voltage Variation on hookup ?

[berni109]

What's an acceptable voltage range for nominally 240 volt supply ?
Upper and lower limits would be useful.
Don't use hookup much (only when a hair drier is needed) but my (cheap Chinese) voltage regulator has cut the supply at a few sites across Europe when the voltage has gone above 255v. My chosen setting.
Voltage tended to hover around 250 but occasionally rose to 260 and that tripped my regulator.
Also seen a site in England drop below 220v and that tripped it as well.
TIA.

For the UK 230 -6% +10%, 216.2v - 253v

Mainland Europe 187v - 242v

Doesn't make an Amps worth of difference..

I'll get my coat.

Nar it's a case of watts the difference.

Will leave my settings alone then Lenny HB . Which are 220 - 255 volts which should cover most situations and not worry about drying hair in Europe.
Might come as a bit of a shock to the wife when she can't dry her hair
