As Shawn correctly asked "Why" and in addition to Gary's comments: For correct electrical coding, you need to obtain the advice from a qualified UK "sparks" (Electrician in UK parlance). In the UK, the declared voltage and tolerance for mains electricity supply is not 240vac but ...

If this is not the case, please post a current REPORT.ZIP that Shawn has already requested above. This contains detailed inf...
