How common is
equipment that runs on 240V besides large appliances sold in
the US? Not very much.
Might depend on what environment it was designed for. If for home or office
110v would be almost exclusively the norm. If it was designed for an industrial
environment, 220v may have been used sometimes. Plus, so many pieces of
equipment were designed to be switchable between 110v and 220v.
