Each voltage has a range and devices rated in that range will all work . The 110 to 120 volts is one range of voltages. The 220 to 240 is another range of voltages. The reason there is a range of voltages is to help the utility company out. They are mandated to keep the voltages within a + or - 5% range of a set voltage. Because there are loads coming on line and loads dropping off line the voltage fluctuates. Using a base voltage of 115 and 230 volts means that the voltage can rise by 115 +5% = 121 volts and drop by 115 - 5% = 109 volts. In the 230 volt range the voltage can rise by 230 + 5% = 241 and drop by 230 - 5% = 219 volts. As you see they are still in the usable voltage ranges.

If your house is wired for 240 volts do you have to have your house rewired for 230 volts?
No. 240 Volts was the nominal standard in Australia with a tolerance of +/- 10%, So the voltage could be anywhere between 216 Volts and 264 Volts. The change to 230 volts is part of international harmonisation between countries that use 220 volt standards and 240 volt Standards. The new tolerance levels are +10% and - 6%.
How many volts flow through a typical home electrical outlet?
