The OP also mentioned the supply is for equipment used on European system, therefore, doesn't need a voltage stabiliser
Why not?

Because, their voltage like ours, fluctuates at the same tolerances
european harmonisation
No it doesn't, harmonisation is a big myth, nobody has changed anything!
Not strictly true.. Voltage levels vary but the tolerances are the same.
therefore, voltage stabiliser not required, just a transformer
Irrelevant anyway as the kit is rated 230

Not irrelevant, the kit is rated 220 - 230V apparently and out voltage is 240 -250V in reality. But it does occasionally dip lower so a transformer would drop the voltage too low sometimes. If the machine needs a more stable supply than it has at the moment then a transformer won't cure the issue
im sorry but that is incorrect
Beat me to it Dave
wrong, the nominal voltage for new supplies is 230.Ok..
firstly, our nominal voltage is 230v (+10% -6%), the same throughout Europe.
Voltage dip.. Does the voltage not also dip in Europe or does that just happen in the UK?

going back a bit for 250 arnt ya? wasnt the last one 240?Nominal voltage yes, actual voltage no.
Nominal voltage is what the politicians agreed to for whatever reason, actual voltage is what the output of the thousands of substation transformers around the country is. I believe the standard DNO transformer still does give 250V output, but there are other people on this forum who can confirm this.
Yes of course voltage dips everywhere, but that doesn't mean that they don't have to use some form of stabiliser for the machine in those countries.
wrong, the nominal voltage for new supplies is 230.
it is too costly to swap all supplies in the country to 230 from 240, a lot of machines etc wouldn't play ball

230 +10% -6% throughout Europe!
the main reason was for import/export. Trading.
all european electrical equipment is rated at 230v.
check all your stuff at home, appliances, lamps, etc
That 230 is a theoretical nonsense, they have not changed the supply voltage in this country, or any other country in Europe.
