Alu iMac - voltage

[huginn]

Hi,

I bought Alu iMac in New Zealand. Is it compatible to use in other countries with different voltage and different shaped plug? I am hoping to take my iMac to Korea and US where the voltage is different from NZ. Any advice would be really appreciated. Thanks.

It should work, yes.

Electrical and environmental requirements
* Meets ENERGY STAR requirements
* Line voltage: 100-240V AC
* Frequency: 50Hz to 60Hz, single phase
* Maximum continuous power: 200W (20-inch models); 280W (24-inch model)
* Operating temperature: 50° to 95° F (10° to 35° C)
* Storage temperature: -40° to 185° F (-40° to 85° C)

However, Apple doesn't appear to sell cables/adapters for desktops, only laptops. You may have to call them to see if one is available.

If it's anything like the white iMac, you can just plug a standard pc power cable in (the only difference with the iMac cable is a round plate, to make it blend in more).
But yes, the iMac power supply can handle 110-240 volts, on either 50 or 60Hz, so you just need the new cable.
