Note: * Member countries of the European Union are presently
striving to achieve a common mains standard.
From 1 January 2004 the mains supply should be 230V (-6%, +10%), 50 Hz (±1%). ie a
range of 216.2 - 253V
This replaces the UK's former specification which was 240V ±6% (ie a range of
225.6 - 254.4V)
Variations should still be anticipated in some areas as the voltage will drop
during periods of heavy demand and rise during periods of low demand.
These websites give a more detailed survey of
voltages and plugs although none of them are complete and they even contradict
sometimes: http://kropla.com/electric.htm
