That's just being flippant, 250V±200% will be adequateActually if we consider further we could decide to nominate the "Official World Voltage of Single Phase as 1000v +/- 100%" in the hope of making almost everyone happy

Oh OK then .That's just being flippant, 250V±200% will be adequate
Trust me to exagerate the need .
Anyway if we conspire to adjust the nominal voltages to include anything from the smallest battery (cell) up to a figure exceeding the voltages of any mains appliance , I will be happy (In Theory!)
Yeaahh let's include tesla coils

It's quite a coincidence that a man called faraday invented a farady cage
A nice "Fudge" of notation of nominal declared voltage!

The permissible supply voltage used to range from 225.6 to 254.4. Now it is 216.2 to 253.0.
There has to be a nominal value in the range to use for calculations.
That nominal value used to be 240, now it is 230.
I really, really, do not see what the issue is.

What is the issue or not
Those numbers always seemed out of whack to me
My assumption always was they were a get out of jail free card for the DSOs( correct term?) rightly or wrongly

Some people seem to be agitated by the change in the permissible voltage range and the change in the nominal value.
I really, really, do not understand why.
