Jim Fulton, (aka Sheffield Sparks)

Thanks for your input here. We have 240v line to line available at Homes also if needed. It is usually only brought to specific appliances that require it. I agree with your suggestion of a stepup transformer from 120v to 230v being best for portable appliances of low to medium wattage. Higher wattage items might cause problems and require dedicated circuits. I am not familiar with Foreign Appliances and if they are of similar wattages as types used here.


We have 1875 watt Hairdryers at 120v that are commonly plugged in on a 15 amp circuit. I personally cannot figure out why that is allowed to happen but I can see that European models could be even higher than that.

Well, anyway, Thank you again for taking the time to correspond with us and I hope that you will join in some discussions here as time permits. We are quite curious about some aspects of your electrical systems and regs. (codes?) And what's a kit? [Linked Image]
