Implications of a 5% voltage increase
Implications of a 5% voltage increase
(OP)
I want to buy a washing machine to use in my country which uses a voltage of 230v/50hz. The washing machines available operates at 220v/50-60hz.What will be the implication feeding the appliance with a 5% increase or 10 volts more?Would that mean a shorter life span for the appliance?Using a transformer near water sounds disturbing.

RE: Implications of a 5% voltage increase
The only thing you may need to watch for is reduced life of incandescent lamps. They are sensitive to increased voltage.
