They get around it by having an asymmetric error band on the nominal UK 230v supply of -6% +10% (in practice roughly centred on 240v). Cheap US kit made for 60Hz sometimes has transformers that saturate on UK 50Hz.Ok. Most of the all country power adapters I have are labeled 100-240V 50-60 Hz so I hope they were designed for up to 255V.It may be the case that 240V has now been reduced to 230V in line with the rest of Europe.>
And these days most, perhaps all, electronics won't care about the difference.
No we have a nominal 230vac which in practice varies between 220vac and 255vac depending on where you are and local loading.
The lowest I have ever seen my mains voltage was just under 200v when one of the three phases had gone down (not my phase). I didn't notice at all until I tried to boil the kettle because almost everything these days is so voltage tolerant. LED light bulbs just draw more current so do computers and their displays.Our mains was sometimes high enough to blow filament light bulbs. In cities such wide variations are much less common but single
line rural feeds are higher near the transformer so that the folk at the far end get the volts.
