Back in the 80's where most products used transformers in their power supplies rather than electronic switch mode supplies. W.A. would see voltages as high as 260v and I worked in retail where we would sell a but load of 250v to 230v stepdown transformers as it was a real problem for some devices.**1 - all states except for WA and Qld. Queensland are in the process of adopting 230V as the standard.
**2 - I'm aware that generation and distribution is done at much higher voltages and stepped to low voltage at the pole/pad transformer, but this is irrelevant for this discussion
You should also note on this supply that the rating is 7.5a 200v-240v
so if we assume that it is written worst case, then it is 7.5a at 200v which means it would be 6.25a at 240v
Did someone say rabbit hole?
