I have recently imported a G5 from the USA and have been plugging it into a transformer to allow it to be connected to the British mains which is 240V. However, I have blown two transformers in the past two weeks, even though they are supposed to handle 200vA and would like to know if my G5 has auto power switching. I have had conflicting answers from Apple support and was wondering if anyone has had experience with this before?

Thanks, i tried it last night and it worked fine.

A warning to anyone who tries this with a USA G5 iMac, apparently you will definately fry the PSU if you plug it in to British power.
