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.

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 !

What is the standard voltage for wall outlets?

If you are talking about normal house hold voltage it would depend in which country you live in. For North America it would be 120/240 volts. For Europe and Eastern countries it would be 240 volts. Industrial voltages vary from country to country. These normal voltages range from 120, 277, 240, 347, 415, 480, to 600 volts.
