Yes, it is 44 to 48 volts. If it was the direct sector, I think all the welders would have died long ago .

With the Linky, the intensity is limited to the subscribed value (with a small tolerance) so possibly a little lower actually, but the cos phi does not intervene.
So the Linky would not consider cos phi for the subscription (6 kVA for me) but would take into account for billing (kVA in kWh)?
