AFAIK, most mains devices have long accepted 220-240V, such that they can be used around the world (except the US and other 115V countries).
Actually, they can be used in North America too, as house wiring here is 240/120, with 120V between one side and neutral and 240 between the 2 hot wires. Major appliances, such as stoves run on 240V, but it's also used in many outlets where heavy loads are expected. With a duplex outlet, one would be connected to one hot wire and the other to the 2nd, with them both sharing the neutral. It would be a trivial matter to convert one of those to a 240V outlet. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
