Hello Bart
It seems the answer must be yes, as the machine was unplugged, so the
surge
can't have come up the mains lead (the coil has a RFI mains filter
anyway)
The engineer came today and the main control card has blown, but it
showed
no physical signs of damage - burns etc. So when anyone next fires up
inside
be carefull, or it can be very expensive. I always unplug everything, but
this is clearly not enough as an unexpected streamer reached the machine.

Hi Phil,
Yes, I didn't realize you were in the UK. So a 1.48 ratio. Even better!
You should do fine there.
Sorry to hear about the washing machine. Did a strike hit it?

Hello Bart.
Your reply worried me then I remembered I live in the UK @ 230 volts and
50
hz, so panic over.
