Moved Overseas - Need Help with 3 Easy Tech Questions

I have an SR Red 3.15amp fuse available...

Roberts all gone

OK then...

You would seem to be good to go.

Not certain where I got the idea that you were using a 120V rated strip (perhaps from one of the deleted posts)?

Line voltages are nominal, that is to say they vary. Variance of only 10V is not significant. Line voltage can vary that much from place to place anyway. Here in the US for example it is all 110, only sometimes quoted as 120, just as sometimes 220 is quoted as 240. It is all the same voltage, only it seems no audiophiles are able to understand this and so freak out over a few volts here and there.

Think of it this way. Your typical tube amp has outputs for 4ohm and 8 ohm. They all come off of the same transformer, just different taps with different numbers of turns. You can run the speakers perfectly fine either set. One usually sounds a little better. The situation with your power transformer is exactly the same. You can run it either way. You can even do just like the amp taps and try it both ways and use the one that sounds the best. 

DeKay - your assumptions are not correct.  I purchased the power strip here in Israel, and I’ve purchased correct Europlug power cords for all my equipment.

The power strip is 16 A, 250V

fuzztone - someone else on a Facebook Technicians group also suggested setting the Linn to 240 V but he admitted to not being an expert.  He said that when the voltage exceeds the setting on the unit is when you are more likely to have problems.

I have a 220 V Meridian 504 tuner that I was using on a Step Up Transformer in the States, does this mean I’m going to have problems with it here?

No one said anything about a fuse on the power strip. The suggestion I made was whether it was rated for working with more than 120V.

A strip rated for 120V/15A is usually rated around 1,500 to 1,800 VA total.  So long as everything downstream doesn't exceed that you are good.  Exceeding the voltage however is not OK here. 

I would purchase a power strip rated for the voltage.

My assumption is that the wall plug and/or power on/off switch (on the unit/strip) is not rated for 230V.

I also assume that you are using a converter plug to mate it to the power receptacle.

I've seen 220V-240V power strips (1980's) with odd inputs that would accept both Euro and American style plugs.

No fuse on the power strip

1. I would go with the 240 vac setting in lieu of measuring the actual v  and/or contacting the mfr.

2. No prob...

3. ditto The largest loads come from non class D amps, only when goosed.

Is the strip fused?

You can always go DOWN in fuse size safely.  Make sure you have the right fuse for the voltage as a change in wall voltage usually needs a different fuse size.

You have about 1,500 VA in that strip, so you should be OK, but make sure it is rated for the actual wall voltage, even if your devices are OK with dual voltage, power strips probably are not.
