What is the supply voltage in the UK
The calibration of electrical power that is delivered to homes becomes essential as each of the devices
that are on use in a home can have differing needs. In the towns and cities of the capital, Commercial
Electricians London can guide people about the installation of devices that are best suited to work
within the supply. The devices that have the CE mark are designed to work within the statutory supply.
In the US, it has been estimated that Conservation Voltage Reduction or CVT can achieve savings of 6500
megawatts. A measure of the reduction is offered by the CVR factor, which at a value of 1 delivers a 1
percent drop in energy consumption for a 1 percent drop in voltage. In the UK, the voltage supply was
changed to 400/230 Volts + 10%-6%. Before 1995, the statutory supply was 415/240 Volts + or – 6%.
Prior to the specifications being brought down, devices that were made to conform to the European
standards were utilising higher voltage than req
