Confused about AC input power plug

[Wanted-x]

I want to bring seasonic focus plus gold 650 from amazon as the product is not available in my region. But i am stuck in confusion about ac power output and voltages. In my region, it is 220V, where in USA and UK, it 120V and 240V respectively. Beside the power cord provided by USA is like Type B and UK is like Type G which is also used in my region commonly. Our region also uses UK variants PSU e.g. in our region all corsair psu's are UK variants. Beside it will cost more if i brought it from UK.

I want to know, if i bring from amazon USA, is it gonna cause power issue to psu as they uses 120V? if i use UK power cord instead of US power cord which will be with PSU, is it gonna harm psu?

thats why every power supply has a voltage switch

there is no voltage switch in this one.

Nope. Look at the back of your power supply. If it has a red voltage switch like in that picture you should throw it in the bin.

That's fine. You'll just need to replace the power cable with one that is compatible with UK sockets. If you look at the label on the Focus Plus Gold 650W PSU you will see that it states the voltage range of 100-240V. This means that it can operate within that range, which covers both 120V for US and 240V for UK. The power supply works on both voltages.

Any PSU bought in the U.S. is going to be capable of full input voltage range.  Just get the correct power cord.

 

Higher voltage is easier than lower voltage because the current is lower.  So you can get a PSU from the U.S., Japan, Taiwan and it should work fine in the U.K.

 

Unfortunately, the other way around isn't true.  Some companies "cheap out" on PSUs sold in EU and they only work where there are higher voltage mains.  Take them to the U.S. and they blow up.
