[QUOTE="who?1, post: 567827, member: 14922"] The issues as I see them are two fold. One : the current flowing will be different at 240 volts. This will equate to less Amps being used so no worries there. The Current carrying capacity of the cables in the hook up will not be affected. Two: the voltage is higher and this may cause insulation resistance problems. However I would assume that even at 500V the unit will be safe. Get your friendly spark to test this for you. It will take Five minutes and will give you piece of mind. Other than that I can't see a problem, just don't rely on the old voltage trip.... Get an RCD fitted as a matter of course. [/QUOTE]
