Can you plug a 240 volts device into a 120 volts wall socket in the US without damaging the device?

It is doubtful that the plug will be adaptable to the 120 outlet, it will not work. You can buy one at best buy or radio shack that will solve your problem

You would have to do a conversion from 240 to 110. Maybe get a power strip that has the conversion built in.

The actual lamp units are for 12V which is provided by using an included wall plug transformer. I'm not saying that it can't be done but I'd recommend finding another product pre-wired for 120V if you want to directly connect to a wall switch.

Doubtful - the 120v plug goes to a power supply that takes anything from 90 to 240 volts. Adding a dimmer will only make the power supply work harder to compensate.

No I'm assuming you would need a power down converter 240v will fry the unit and probably even cause you some sort of harm

The plug actually holds a small transformer for the unit, and plugs into the wall socket using a two-prong (non grounded) U.S. connector. The included paperwork says it will work at 120 or 240 at 50/60 Hz. However, you would need a convertor to adapt the plug to a European plug.

My wall outlet provides 120 Volts and the device operates normal. However the specification says this equalizer can operate from 100 V to 240 V.

Not without an adapter. It is wired for a standard U.S. outlet. It has a two-prong grounded plug (the kind where one prong is bigger than the other). Is that what you mean? Regarding the capacity to be wired for 240, I do not know. But that would be double the power of a wall outlet in the U.S., where 240 is used only for water heaters, stoves and clothes driers and has an outlet of a different shape and size.

probably not. 240v outside the us is usually delivered on 2 wires.. 240 in the us uses 2 110v circuits added together. i made this mistake when I brought a US 240v clothes dryer with me. electrician laughed at me... ended up changing out the element...

I don't know. I use 120V, as is routine here in the U.S.. I haven't tested it with 240V. Good luck.

I would NOT hook a 110 device into a 220 source. You'll likely destroy the device and possibly start a fire in your outlet or worse.

Equipment uses standard 110 house current. Using 220 volts would fry the delicate electronics.

Phillip - this device does not come with adapters for 240V outlet schemes. While, I do not have the original packaging, I would not rely on the 120V design (insulation) to safely accomodate 240V supply.

problem i can see, is that if its input is listed as 120v and i plug it into my u.k 240v socket, is it likely to go BANG?!!!

You plug it in to a standard wall outlet. 120 volt if you live in USA. If you try to run 240 v thru it...it will be up in smoke!!!

The one I have is 110 only - you would need a travel voltage converter for 240.

Yes, you can safely plug these into any voltage from 120-240. You may need an adapter for the plug, as it is an American two prong.
