Ukraine will change voltage to 230 from July 1: DTEK explained what will happen to household appliances.

Changes in the voltage standard in Ukraine: what happens from July 1

Starting from July, changes in the voltage standard will occur in Ukraine: instead of 220 volts, there will now be 230 volts. According to representatives of DTEK, this is part of systemic changes aimed at harmonizing the Ukrainian energy system with the European one.

'Our energy system has been operating synchronously with the European one for more than three years, and the transition to 230 volts is just the next step,' the company noted.

According to the new standard, voltage deviation is now possible by 10%, which means a range from 207 to 253 volts. Energy experts advise consumers to take this into account when configuring voltage relays in their homes.

When asked about the impact of these changes on household appliances, they replied: 'Not at all.' Modern appliances are manufactured in accordance with European standards, where 230 volts has been the norm for a long Time, so they are ready for this mode of operation.

'The main thing is not just the number, but the stability of voltage in the network,' emphasize DTEK. Every day, energy experts work to ensure this stability, despite all the challenges.

The company assures that everything is under control: 'the new voltage standard is another step towards European integration in energy. We are moving forward, and the future will be bright.'

Changes in the voltage standard in Ukraine, which will take place from July 1, are aimed at harmonizing the Ukrainian energy system with the European one. This is the third step in synchronizing with the European system, which will allow Ukrainian energy workers to adhere to European standards. Although the new standard provides for a voltage of 230 volts, energy experts are confident that this will not harm modern household appliances, as they are made with higher voltage in mind.
