Getting 240v + surges?
Elitech are the brands I got from ebay
Consider one you can flash somebody posted about them recently, if you can flash or get them flashed it will allow you do a whole lot more on fermentation.

Eccipoo

Has your elitech lasted compared to the 4 that blew?

Thanks for all the advice, it's appreciated

I've never had one blow!

Just touching base on this again

I ordered an elitech version of this today....and forgot to check the power on it. Which on the description on Amazon is reading 110v

I take it the 110's too low?

Not a lecce is me but the STC has a 10 amp rating and so any surge will cause it to blow hence I have had some last for years and some only weeks. Was recommended a surge protector and so far no more blow outs 8)

10Amp is for the Output so you couldn't put a kettle element on it 13A but could do a fridge 2-3A.
Clearly get more than you moneys worth from your electricity supplier there Mr D Can you post a pic of your surge protector?
Is it like the ones you get in extension leads?

I bought this in Tesco to do the job.
