[QUOTE="jeallen01, post: 1005940, member: 176704"] Something I forgot to mention last night, and it's particularly relevant to N.America: - That continent has multiple levels of domestic/commercial premises voltage supplies and it is quite common to find both 110-120V sockets (for equipment up to 1250W) and 220-240V (for equipment up to 2500W - e.g. portable heaters, washing m/cs & so on). Therefore, what do you think would happen if a 110-120V product with an appliance inlet, and supplied with the correct cordset and plug, was later accidentally fitted with a cordset with a 220-240Vplug and then plugged into a 220-240V socket? "Woosh, Bang, OOH Nasty" comes to mind! :D [/QUOTE]
