    Test your input before buying a coil

    220-240v you want ~50v output before rectified.
    240v-260v (I get 252v's in which is very high) get a 45v this will give you ~70v when rectified to DC.

    UK used to run at 240v and rest of EU at 220v but it was standardised almost 20 years ago at 230v in reality nothing changed because the leeway allowed on voltage meant that 240v systems fell into the acceptable performance. In Lithuania where the infrastructure has only recently been upgraded I got 230v but I noticed in Berlin I was getting 220v's as the infrastructure pre-dated the 230v regs.

    I would bet Nick falls into the 220v-240v zone.

    Get 2 rectifiers as they're £1 each too cheap not to have a spare even though they are super reliable, I managed to blow one up with transformer lol.

    At home my voltage is ~240v at work it's always over 250v so my theory is they are pumping higher voltages to industrial sites to compensate for the much higher inductive loads on the system.

    If you didn't buy it from China the company you bought it from did ;)
