Comment on Meal prep
Ross_audio@lemmy.world 5 weeks agoDue to a quirk of unifying 2 standards, Europe and the UK, the range is 216.2 volts to 253.0 volts.
That encompasses infrastructure built to a tighter tolerance around 220V in Europe and infrastructure built to a tighter tolerance around 240V in the UK (and Australia).
We expect 3150W out of a kettle most of the time. Our heaters will say 3kW.
Usually you’ll find a few volts over 240 out of our outlets and that’s to design spec.

Thanks for the info! I’ve never actually lived in the UK so I was just guessing based on what I’ve read online. I was going to use Australia as an example (since I was born there) but standard outlets in Australia are only 10A.
