I had an email from the IET to say that the DPC for AMD 1 was published yesterday for 60 days for public comment. I can't post a link but you can find it via the IET and BSI websites. It's all about electric vehicle charging.
Living in a rural Area I've had both ultra extremes
1 Walked into house late one night and switched on light to be rewarded with a soft dim glow rather than normal illumination levels. Checked voltage with my plug in power/volts meter to find (as I recall) it was around 130Volts.
Sigh, do nowt and go to bed - someone had fixed it by next morning.
2. Working on computer with GLS desk lamp on.
Suddenly desk lamp goes a LOT brighter and UPS on the computer goes nuts signifying its intervening to prevent high voltage. Yikes say I....Check voltage and its steady as she goes at 278Volts - and remained at that for at least a couple of hours+ despite me ringing them - before it was switched off totally. Meanwhile I was running round the house switching off any operating electrical item I could.
Sparkingchip:
I have noted readings of 256 volts at home when checking meters in the past, my old Robin multifunction tester would lock out occasionally and refuse to do a loop test.
Generally it stays lower, obviously it depends who’s doing what and where.
