question
On the rear of the unit there is print stating that this thing is supposed to work with both US and European AC power, how is that possible? But if it indeed does, do you have to switch out the fuse inside it, and what fuse would you need for 120 Volts and for 230 Volts?
There are many products today which have an automatic power conversion adaptor built into the input stage of the power converter. It is common for laptop as well as tower-type computers to have a/c input which looks for the input a/c voltage, and depending on the reading, the power supply converts the a/c source to the proper circuit in order to arrive at the proper d/c conversion.In a unit such as this, there is no d/c conversion. It is essentially just a multiple a/c power strip with individual switches which are tied into led lights. The product is rated for 230volts a/c, which is the highest a/c power source that one may find. Any a/c power level below that will be handled because the unit is rated for 230 volts a/c. Many multiple-outlet power strips can be used with European 230 volts a/c supply. They will pass the a/c voltage just fine, if their breaker or fuse is rated for 230 volts a/c. The only difference when using such a product as this in the USA, or in Europe is the need to choose the proper plug to get the power cord to mate with the supplied a/c outlet. This is my understanding of how units like this can be made to function across a variety of a/c input voltages from 100 volts to 230 volts, and not require modification.
