[ILUG] Moniter settings

[Michael Field - NC Systems Server Engineering - SUN Ireland]

Voltages vary locally because of transmission and transformer losses. They will 
also vary with time. For example when (esp. deep in the sticks) several people 
on the same transformer plug in the electric kettle in the morning and maybe go 
for a shower the voltage is going to fall because of the increase in current.

In Ireland domestic voltages can be anything from 220V to 250V.
