    Working Out Amp Draw

    Hi When working out Amp draw (Watt/Voltage) for a domestic dwelling do I keep my voltage figure at 230 when in real terms the actual voltage as source is 246v So for a 7kw cooker I do 7000/230 = 30.43amps but at 245v its 28.57amps. Do I always use 230 as the figure for a domestic dwelling?
