Maximum current for a unit supplied from a 13A socket, taking supply voltages into account.

Anthony Hoare
I am currently developing a heated food merchandising unit to be supplied from a 13A three pin plug.


If the unit is designed around 230V, 13A,  do I have an issue when the supply voltage is at the top of its tolerance (230V + 10% = 257V).

As I have a purely resistive load, the current drawn would be 14.3A

Is this an accepted method or should the unit be designed around 257V 13A?


Your help would be appreciated.

    Your design need to consider the maximum voltage and also not to exceed the 13A rating with sufficient margin
