Dear Gary, My company also builds equipment for the electronics manufacturing industry (reflow). We build equipment with the following voltage ratings: 208V, 380V, 415V or 480V. Our equipment is rated to +/- 10% of the required voltage which means that our 415V system will work with power ranging from 360 to 440 (machine actually rated to 400V +/- 10%). I believe your customer requires 415V/50Hz but is giving you the actual measurement as taken from their incoming lines. I have also been told that in the UK power is available at 415V/50Hz (+/- 6%). With this tolerance your customer could potentially measure incoming power of 456.5 (on the high side) off the incoming lines. Hope this helps. Let me know if I can be of further assistance. Sincerely, Brian Stumm ETS, LLC 3939 North Freya Street Spokane, Washington 99207 509-483-0900 (voice) 509-483-0331 (fax) mailto:[log in to unmask] (e-mail) http://www.eznet.com/~ets (internet homepage) ---------end message---------- >Good Evening, Gentlemen!
