[QUOTE="Geoff1946, post: 478815, member: 28452"] Looks like college homework to me, but if it's for real my approach would be "what's the specification of the appliance?" If it's 220 +/_ 10%, for instance, then that can be 220+22, ie 240v is apparently ok, but then you also have to consider your supply. 230v or not officially, I've often seen 245v here, which would be out of spec. for that item. Regardless of specifications. increasing voltage increases the stress on components and often shortens their life. [/QUOTE]
