This probably refers to the UK which used 240 v until the UK joined the European Community. Europe has always used 230 v so the solution adopted was to redefine the UK supply as 230 v, but no actual changes were made to the supply except to widen the allowed range of voltages.
In the UK the nominal voltage range is 230 v -6% +10%, a range of 216.2 to 253 volts, which accomodates the almost universal 240 v supply in the UK.
In practice the only appliances that are highly sensitive to voltage are incandescent bulbs (including halogen), and these are marked 240 v.
What else can I help you with?
Why do you have 110 volts but no 240 volts?
The availability of 110 volts versus 240 volts in a given location depends on the electrical infrastructure and standards in place. 110 volts is a common voltage used for standard household outlets in many countries, while 240 volts is more commonly used for high-powered appliances like dryers and stoves. If you have 110 volts but not 240 volts, it may be that your location is not equipped to provide higher voltage for specific appliances.
Can you plug a 220V appliance into a 230V outlet?
Assuming United States: 110=115=120 volts 220=230=240 volts The numbers have changed over the years, but now services are typically 120v or 240v. Anything listed for 10 volts one way or the other is designed for those voltages.

How do you convert 5 volts to 12 volts?
The 12 v side ampere rating is unnecessary information (You need 5 watts output power, so if the input is 12 volts, you need around 1/2A input current). Use a DC to DC converter. I found an IC made for this purpose at Radio Shack several years ago - I assume they are still available if you are a hobbyist. Otherwise you can buy premade ones (search for 12v to 5v converter).
Why was the mains in the voltage changed from 240 volts to 230 volts a few years ago?
The change from 240 volts to 230 volts in mains voltage was implemented to align with European standards and ensure consistency across member countries. This adjustment was made to improve energy efficiency and safety while harmonizing electrical regulations within the European Union.
