Ged, After a little research, I found some history of the CBEMA/ITIC curve. This was developed by the CBEMA's ESC-3 Working group to provide information for the IEEE STD 446 (Orange Book). Within the Orange Book, I have the 1987 edition so there may be some changes, section 3.11 - Data Processing - looks at the tolerance of voltages for ITE equipment. There is additional reference to IEEE C84.1, which looks at numerous different types of power systems.
I hope that this helps. Thanks, Bryan.

I have found by internet search the original CBEMA curves - which I believe were published in a US Standard FIPS-94 (1983) - and the revised CBEMA/ITI curves circa 2000. These curves are based upon 120V/60Hz power supply; can anyone advise whether similar curves have been produced for 230V/50Hz supplies, or how the applicabiilty of the orginal 120V/60Hz curves may be compromised when considering supply at 230V/50Hz? Also, the 120V/60Hz curves appear to be widely quoted but any limiting assumptions made in their production rarely discussed - can anybody advise, or point me in the direction of more background information?
