•In order to avoid that, under unfavourable mains conditions, phenomena like transient voltage drops or lighting fluctuations can happen, it is recommended that the iron is connected to a power supply system with a maximum impedance of 0.27 Ω. If necessary, the user can ask the public power supply company for the system impedance at the interface point.
