South Korea relaxes the allowable voltage deviation range, and the standard voltage tolerance of 220V will be expanded to ± 22V


Time:

2025-07-01

South Korea has released a revised draft of the "Implementation Rules for the Electrical Industry Act", proposing to adjust the allowable deviation range of 220V standard voltage from the current "± 13V" to "± 22V" to be consistent with South Korean national standards.

On May 7, 2025, the Ministry of Industry, Trade and Resources (MOTIE) of South Korea recently released a partially revised draft of the "Implementation Rules of the Electrical Industry Act", proposing to adjust the allowable deviation range of 220V standard voltage from the current "± 13V" to "± 22V" to be consistent with the national standard of South Korea.

Revision points

 

1. Voltage standard adjustment

-Current standard: 220V ± 13V (207V-233V)

-Revised standard: 220V ± 22V (198V-242V)

-Scope of application: All 220V power supply systems within South Korea

 

2. Revision Background

-Consistent with the Korean National Standard KS C 8302 (2023 edition)

-Adapt to a wider voltage tolerance range of modern power equipment

-Reduce power grid operating costs and improve power supply stability

 

3. Industry impact

-Power company: Reduce voltage regulation pressure and lower operating costs

-Manufacturer: Ensure that the product operates normally within a wider voltage range

-Consumers: May extend the lifespan of electrical appliances

 

4. Implementation Plan

-Deadline for soliciting opinions: May 20, 2025

-Expected implementation time: Q3 2025
