in NA the standard voltage is 115v if its a little higher or lower its not a big deal, ie +/-5v. i would not concern your self specially on the slightly lower side. if it goes much lower or higher I'd contact your provider.
What is the lowest voltage acceptable ?
I live in an apartment building and the AC voltage is usually 121 VAC. Lately with the hot weather Con Edison has had problems in Northern Queens , New York. My voltage has been lower and fluctuating between 119 and as low as 109. Right now it’s 115. What is the lowest to safely power my system?

I agree 114 should be the minimum, but the other really hot night Con Edison had some outages a couple of miles away from me and my voltage went down to 109 in the evening. I unplugged my system. The next day it went up to 119 and 115 at night . I emailed my provider ( Con Edison ) and am waiting for a reply. |
I use a Furman AR which keeps my line voltage within a consistent 118 to 122 VAC, barring severe issues (in which case it shuts off), as well as protecting me from white outs as well. The most compact/affordable combination is this unit. In my case, I bought an Elite 15i first, and then realized I needed the voltage regulation, so I have probably spent 3x that much on my setup. Don’t do what I did. 🤣 |
