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?

This is governed by your state’s utility regulatory agency, such as a Board of Public Utilities. My state respects the ANSI C84.1 guideline, which calls for a ± 5 percent regulation of the nominal 120VAC service, or 114 volts minimum.
