Bought an EU type PSU

Hi all

I made the mistake of buying an EU type PSU and realised today during the build process... Is there anyway around it without buying or returning this PSU

Cheers

They make EU PSU's differently to UK ones? Do you mean simply you've got an EU>IEC rather than UK>IEC at which point just use your old one.

Yeah sorry I mean the plug has 2 pins instead of 3 points.. I don't have an old one as I sold it

Be far easier to buy a cable than to return the psu and get another. I've always found psu's generally come with both types of cable though.

Can I just buy any power cable or a certain amp? I thought it would have an adapter but no not in this one

The PSU will work in EU, UK, US ...
They used to have a switch for 120/240, now it is automatic.
Use a different kettle lead.

What amp fuse will I need as don't want to blow anything up
