AC power operating voltage in Germany
« on: March 06, 2004, 01:12:54 PM »
Hi dudes and dudesses
This is a question for anyone in Germany and is not really
about Amigas but I hope you can help.
I'm after an electrical item on ebay Germany and wonder what I can do to get it to work on UK voltage of 240V.
What is the standard German operating voltage. Is it 110V like France?

Thanks for any help

Thanks Kronos - that is good news.
The device is a Casio keyboard from about 1986 - that seems
quite recent in my memory but do you reckon that is new
enough?

@Kronos

Yeah..thanks!

@chris

Maybe I'm getting confused there about France being 110V.
Why do you get those switches on the backs of PC PSUs etc that can switch between 240 and 110 ? Incidentally if you do plug a PC into UK power with the switch set to 110V oddly you get a loud pop and an electrical smell..someone at work tried that!
