Default Taper of Potentiometers

"Pah, mine goes to over 260 VAC. "

Don't try to pull that cotton/polyesther wool substitute over my eyes. Your nominal line voltage is 240. So that means it is like me having one that goes to 130. Yours would have to go to 150 to be equivalent.

What impresses me (some) is how some of these modern power supplies can handle auto-swicthing between line voltages.
