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.
I don't see any reason to be especially concerned. IEC 320 receptacles
and plugs are specifically intended for both 120V and 240V
applications. Obviously you have to be sure that the equipment you plug
into it is rated for the voltage you're using, but you've already done that.
