I live in a cowntry where energy comes at 240V (Brazil), but all
computers, printers and most eletronic devices are wired to a voltage
stabilizer that reduces the risk of damage by lightning and other
voltage peaks. This stabilizers also transform 240 to 120V AC, so, our
energy is 240V but almost ALL devices run switched to 120V.
So, my advice is: get a stabilizer.
