Now, I was thinking of buying the cheap 280V model and installing it

maybe some power inefficiencies, are there any other drawbacks of
using the 280V model

are you sure it isn't 208 ?

I'd be suspicious that the 280V was a misreading somehow of 230V.
that sounds more plausible.

I'm a little confused about a 230 volt circuit. In what part of the world
does the utility supply 230v?

Most except the USA and Canada and a few others.
