Like in whole Europe in the UK it is 230 Volts, AC 50 Hz. This is allowed to vary from a lower limit of 216.2 Volts up to an upper limit of 253 Volts.

For more information see the answer to the Related Question shown below. <><><>

In the world we have mostly 220 to 240 volts 50 Hz (blue) or 108 to 132 volts 60 Hz (red). Scroll down to Related Links and look at "Worldmap for AC Voltage and Frequency - Wikipedia". <><><>

What is mains electricity?

Mains electricity is nothing but main source of power in an installation. From the mains the power is then branched out to different end usage.


Will the power consumed by an electrical appliance increase with a reduction of applied voltage?

Power consumed by an electrical appliance will increase with a reduction of applied voltage.


What is the function of a mains lead in a strip heater?

The mains lead in a strip heater serves as the primary power supply connection between the heater and the electrical outlet. It is typically a flexible insulated cable that carries the electrical current from the source to the heating element within the heater. The mains lead is essential for providing the necessary power for the heater to generate heat and maintain the desired temperature. It is important to ensure that the mains lead is properly connected and in good condition to prevent any electrical hazards or malfunctions.


Why are transformer used with power tools?

Transformers are used with tools that operate on less than 'mains' voltage.


How do you control fluctuating power in rural home?

To control fluctuating power in a rural home I'm assuming you mean the power or lights dim out when certain electrical appliances come on. This fluctuation or dimming of the lights will sometimes occur when a well water pump kicks on, or the home AC starts, usually any major appliance that has a large amperage draw, even a household refrigerator. Typically the dimming of the lights is caused by too small of wires feeding the main electrical panel to the home. I would recommend having a licensed electrician look at the electrical service coming into your home. Hope this helps some.
