what is the voltage supplied to most homes in australia?
240 v ac
section::::background.:united kingdom.









































the declared low voltage electricity supply in the united kingdom as per the electrical safety, quality and continuity regulations 2002, is now 230 v with a tolerance of +10% to -6%. this means that supply voltage can theoretically be anywhere between 216 v and 253 v depending on local conditions. however, the average voltage supplied from the national grid (in mainland uk) is 242 v, compared to the typical european voltage of 218-222 v. (the average supply voltage in northern ireland is around 239 v, and 235 v in the republic of ireland.)
voltage optimisation
adaptive voltage scaling (avs) is a closed-loop dynamic power minimization technique that adjusts the voltage supplied to a computer chip to match the chip's power needs during operation. many computer chips, especially those in mobile devices or internet of things devices are constrained by the power available (for example, they are limited to the power stored in a battery) and face varying workloads. in other situations a chip may be constrained by the amount of heat it is allowed to generate. in addition, individual chips can vary in their efficiency due to many factors, including minor differences in manufacturing conditions. avs allows the voltage supplied to the chip, and therefore its power consumption, to be continuously adjusted to be appropriate to the workload and the parameters of the specific chip. this is accomplished by integrating a device that monitors the performance of the chip (a hardware performance manager) into the chip, which then provides information to a power controller.
