Originally the UK mains supply voltage was specified at 240 Volts AC or, more precisely, 240 Volts RMS +/-6%. The alternating current runs at a frequency of 50Hz.
Some time ago, to allow harmonisation across Europe, the specifications were changed to 230 Volts RMS +10%/-6%, also running at a frequency of 50Hz.
Thus the mains supply voltage will remain within European Union norms (standards) even if it varies between an upper limit of 253 Volts and a lower limit of 216.2 Volts. === === === ===
