"240v into 110v doesn't go"Which is why normal voltage is 230v and 115v.
(I qualified as an electrician last year).

fair enoughbut in general most mains voltages aren't those figures either (have seen incoming lines as low as 190), I can't remember what the RMS value is though, was a long time ago in a-level physics

National grid is supposed to be within +/- 10% for 90% of the timeI think. It could be 5%. Either way, it's a pretty sizeable voltage change!

True, andIt doesn't half play havoc with ADSL, had to UPS top up the incoming power
