230-240
It's described as 230 v for harmonisation with Europe, with a tolerance of -6% +10% to allow for the fact that the actual supply voltage in most places is 240 v, and there are no plans to change it.
So 230 v is the political answer, while 240 v is the real answer.

How many volts come out of a household dimesticsupply socket?
In the UK, 230-240 volts.AnswerFor the UK, the legal requirement is 230 V (-6%/+10%). Incidentally, volts don't 'come out' of a socket!!!
Power supply with red led light?
If you are referring to a switched UK-style socket outlet fitted with a led, or a wall switch fitted with a led, then the led merely indicates that the socket outlet switch or wall switch is in the 'on' position.
How do you upgrade 5 amps socket to 13 amps socket?
pertaining to what voltage. 120 volts start at 15 amps outlets.Sorry, normal domestic supply. 240 volts.AnswerThe question relates to the UK's 230-V residential circuits. The answer is that you cannot upgrade from a 5-A socket outlet (obsolete for a great many years!) to a 13-A socket without completely rewiring the residence with appropriate-sized conductors installed as a ring main.
How many volts does a brown wire carry?
The three colours used in the UK are: blue (live), brown (neutral), yellow and green stripes (earth). The standard UK domestic voltage is 240 volts.

What are socket outlets and plugs?
Socket outlets and plugs are common terms for mains connectors. They carry mains voltage, normally either 120 volts as in North America or 230 volts as used in most of the world outside the Americas. The socket outlet is also known as a "receptacle" in North America and simply "socket" in the UK. They are the wall mounted connectors used to deliver electrical power to the consumer. The plug is normally the cable mounted connector that mates with the wall mounted socket. Countries and regions have their own type of connector and while they are sometimes compatible, many countries have connectors that are unique to their own country. Because they are such a common item, there are many terms in use for them, some are technically correct while others are wrong but still widely understood. Socket outlets are often referred to as "plug socket" or "wall plug" in the UK. Both are confusing terms although understood by all.
Can a person electrocuted by 85 dc volt suffer health effects?
It depends on the strength of the shock, and duration. 85 volts dc doesn't sound like much (compared to the 230 volts mains in the UK) - BUT - if its delivered with high amperage, it can have just as much effect on the body as sticking your finger into a wall socket !
Can UK appliances be used in Australia?
Yes all you need is an adaptor to make it fit in the wall socket.
