That is not right.


Here is a document that has the ANSI standards listed:

One night, years ago, running the homebrew “Henry” saw the plate voltage meter against the peg at 4000.

They told me it was within 10% tolerance. 240 x 1.1= 264.

Walmart light bulbs would last a day.

Found a box  of 130 volters in the electric parts store.

Today, CFL’s and LED’s seem to hold up.
