My ups constantly runs between 223to 228volts every day , thus smoothing the current to 220volts .

That makes a declared voltage of 230v.
And the fluctuations you will get in voltage (both here and UK) makes not a whit of difference.
Declared voltage in UK is 230v but a tolerance of between +10% and - 6% gives a fluctuation of between approx 210 and 250 volts. There will also be losses in the installation of around 4%.
All equipment now has a voltage range of 220-240 with those tolerances built in so, no, nothing has changed except electrical equipment has been designed to operate within those parameters.
Your voltage will also vary throughout the day so to say UK has 240 v and Spain has 230 v is wrong.
All equipment will work throughout Europe.
However, I gave the short reply in my first answer.

I don´t mind technical answers. Some will state that something is just so but have no idea as they read it somewhere else.
Giving detailed, in depth answers shows the person understands the issue and is not just a "guesser"
I hope Marcliffe stays as he is one of the best, most valued posters on here...
--but if he goes, well done the critics, you have just lost us one of the most knowledgabe posters..

Why don't people who don't have anything constructive to add to a poster's question just keep their beaks out . Marcliff is a fountain of knowledge and gives his time freely to help others out, I know cos he's helped me loads of times. We can't afford to lose him from this forum for the sake of a few mindless people who have too much time on their hands.

I thought that I had chosen my words carefully to answer a simple question but obviously not.
I had said 'about the same' as I know the voltage can vary during the day.
I have just measured the voltage in my house and it is 221v ac not 230v.
It is unfortunate that some of these posts take on a life of their own and away from the original question.

Don’t disappear Marcliff, your input is invaluable in this forum. Most of the answers would be guesswork without you. You’re very much appreciated.

The Mains Voltage in the UK is not the Same as in the Rest of Europe.
This is a quote from a website :-
For many years, mainland western Europe used mains electricity supply rated at nominally 220v ac 50hz. The UK used 240v ac 50hz.
Currently all western European supplies are classified as 230v ac,. In reality there is no 230v ac supply unless you create one locally.
The average voltage in the UK is 242 v ac. I have also measured the voltage in my house which is 221v ac. A difference of 21v ac.
It was ludicrous to say that the voltages are the same.
It is a pity that Marcliff could not admit he was wrong instead of producing that post about variations etc.
There is a website http://WWW.nottinghamac.uk/etc/guide-vo ... sation.php which explains all about the EU standard and the various differences between countries. There are many other websites explaining the difference between the European countries and the UK if you do a Google search on UK mains voltage. None of them say the voltages are the same.
