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 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. 🤣
