Okay so the komet people sent me instructions on how to convert my komet to 240volt operation, and they talk about changing an MOV in the following quote from their email:
"Remove the 130 Volt MOV on the back of the on/off switch.
Install a 250 Volt type MOV across the on/off switch where the 130 MOV was..
Then solder the Black and Blue wires together, make sure they are well insulated with heat shrink material.
( See pic )
Solder the White wire to the left side of the MOV and terminal, solder the Purple wire to the right side."
They have actually made the komet to operate under both american power and 240volts, all it needs is some different wires soldered somewhere and a changed one of these MOV's. My dad is more than qualified to work on electronics so i was going to get him to help me with it and we should be able to do it no worries, and ill learn something at the same time, but i dont know what this MOV is and before i ask my dad i was wondering if anyone could tell me what it is?
Cheers
