Once out of the EU  can we return to 240 Volts  ?   

Was it to ensure that all EU appliances were designed to that criteria  ?    I don't remember TBH. 

And looking back  , what a travesty it was to change our wiring colours   , we'll be blessed with the two systems  for the next 100 years.

rarely see anything less than 235. usually 240-250. it was all just another useless paper exercise, oh look, we have changed our voltage to match europe, but also extended the tolerance so we dont actually have to do anything

maybe we should start basing our calculations on the actual voltage? and before someone says what if they lower the voltage, what happens if you plan at 230v then it drops to 216? or maybe amd1 is going to fix this issue and base Zs on 216v?

Adjusting to 216V, isn't that what Cmin is doing already!!
