Subject: [ukha_d] UK Voltage
I've
got a nice rackmount APC SmartUPS 1400 (thanks to eBay) and late
last night I noticed a warning light. Turns out it had started clamping the
voltage due to it hitting 253V AC. This morning it seems around
248V.
Coming from the US, a UPS is a near essential in the number of
"brownouts" and power failures that happen -- especially during the harsh
winters of the midwest :-)
I
was slightly suprised to see the voltage level since I had thought UK
had
moved down from 240 and Europe had moved up to provide a european 230V
standard?
Its
got me curious now...
