[QUOTE="Nicky Tesla, post: 10033, member: 445"] STEPTOE If the POWER REMAINS THE SAME, then yes current will increase for a lower voltage eg a 110v 600w drill will draw twice as much current as a 240v 600w drill. If the voltage on the mains drops, then so does the power and the 240v drill will draw less current and not have the same power. Can you grasp that? [/QUOTE]
