265V is a common top voltage threshold, but you'll need to look at the equipment specs. The US grid is specified to produce 120/240V +-5%. So 240 could be up to 254V and still be in spec. (240V+12V) Equipment is supposed to accept at least +-10%, so up to 264V. (240V+24V). Personally I'd set

Do any of you smart guys know how far out of whack does AC voltage have to be to cause trouble? We have an NMS monitoring rectifier input voltage and it's current alarm threshold is 250V. Occasionally that goes off and everyone ignores it. I'd like to set an alarm threshold where we should
