I can't see why it'll do any damage, but I am suprised it works. Surely
that relay is only going to get half the coil voltage it expexts.
If there are any surge protection components, they'll be things like 275V
VDRs. They'll not clip off small spikes (say 150V ones), but they'll not
be damaged, and won't do any damage to anything else.

1) Check every device you plug into the outlet
strip to be certain
that it is rated for 240V.
A little OT, but I'm curious. I'm using an IEC strip in one of my
racks--it's the kind with an internal relay hooked to an external
switch. But it's rated for 240v and I'm using it on a 120v line. It
seems to work okay, but I've been wondering if I'm courting disaster.
