Paul,
Perhaps it should be pointed out that 110v is almost exclusively a UK 'building site' voltage, supplied by individual 240v transformers for safety reasons. Is this a legal requirement in the UK? If it's an EU directive, the French ignore it, because I've seen French tradesmen all using 230v kit, without hard hats on chantiers. Or proper guarded scaffolding for that matter, just those well named 'cripples' hooked over a pair of ladders with an old plank between.
