Danger danger, high voltage.

[Captain Beer]

Over the past few months I've noticed that the incoming voltage at home has increased from an average of about 235V to peaks of 260V? While I'm grateful for the decreased current, at what point does the increased voltage start to damage my electronic goodies?

Tune reminds me of my time in London Town.

Pretty stable the past week, between 237 and 246V.

Yes, it was out since just after 02H13, didn't even notice.

Constant voltage isn't as bad as fluctuations in voltage but some electronics not rated to handle it will blow power circuits
