I know this might sound like a very basic question and I have just spent 20 minutes searching threads and thought it would be quicker just ask.

Whats the situation with bringing over (from the USA) electrical goods...is the power 120 or 240 volts and does the hertz make a difference???

Thanks in advance

Mark

It's 220V, so goods from the USA may need a voltage converter, unless they have power supplies that will handle up to 240V. The frequency is very unlikely to make any difference.
