Probably most can, although you wan't likely find that in the spec sheet. Fortunately, these things are cheap. Get one that is "auto ranging" and specified to work over the full range of world grid voltages, usually something from 90-260 VAC, 50-60Hz. Make sure it has the CE logo, which most will anyway. That guarantees it has a PFC front end at that power level, making it even more likely that there is a full wave bridge immediately after the power input. ******************************************************************** Embed Inc, Littleton Massachusetts, http://www.embedinc.com/products (978) 742-9014.
