It is also possible that this US kit is designed for 220V and is getting

Presumably it's not designed for 110 Volt like US equipment usually
is.

I think it would have expired with a blue flash and a shower of sparks
long since if it was. Heavy industrial kit like larger power tools and
some domestic aircon tend to be on 220v even in 110 mains countries.
