Will this run on the U.K's 240v system?

i dont think so, here in the states that voltage is too high it runs on 110volts

The one I bought was 120 volt 60 hz. I don't know it they make an export version or voltage adapter.

My sharpener would not run on your electrical supply. It's designed for the US market. Perhaps if you purchased a unit from a UK based merchant. I do like my sharpener. Good luck.

No, the system requires a power source to turn on and operate. Must have 240v utility system to run.

Short answer is yes. The web site indicates that it handles international voltages and the plug is stamped with 100-240.

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?!!!

Will not work on 240v it will burn up. Would have to use a power converter.

If there is a switch on the back that will allow you to switch to 240 then yes. Otherwise you will need to use a converter to step the voltage down.

Depends, if you are buying it from Amazon.com or Amazon.co.uk is the biggest clue. Only stuff bought from .co.uk will be 240v. You can get inverters though that let you step up or step down the power, but they can get pricey. Good luck:)

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

We are in New Zealand which also uses a 240v system. All you need is a plug adaptor to run it over here.

Yes, as long as you have it hooked up using the 240v. I run my well pump on it.

Yes, it should as the rating tag on it states it is designed to work at voltages of 100 t0 240v at 50 or 60 hz. You may need a plug adapter for 240 volt application.

Yes it would, all you have to do, is reduce your 240v to 120v with a reducer.

It should work with a 220 volt system. The back of the device fits over a standard on/off wall light switch and moves it up or down with battery power, not household current. It does not plug in, and there is no electrical connection between the device and your electrical system. I agree with James Carey's comment and disagree with those who say it will not work. The only issue should be the size of your switch, the plastic knob that goes up or down to turn the lights on and off. I am set up on a 120 volt system, so have not personally used it on 240volts. If it does not work for some reason, I have found Amazon to stand behind its products, so would probably be returnable.

You can use a step down transformer to convert 240v power to 110v. The uk 240v model number is DE9135

It's 115 volts... So you will need a transformer or some other converter to use it with 240v

I used mine on 240V and it seemed to work just fine :) This was only for a test though as I bought it to use overseas, so I can't say 100% for long term use.

I have mine set up on a 24v system. As long as you follow the wiring diagram it will work.
