hi Mc7,
The lower clip is from the eBay link.
The PSU label does not state AC Input 110 V and 220 V
The Black check box shows that its 220Vac +/-10%

Looks like there are two versions sold; one with a US 110v plug, one with a 220V (240V) Euro plug. Make sure you get the right one.
As it's a switch-mode supply it probably has a universal input which will handle either mains voltage. If in doubt, ask the seller.

Hello,

It could well be that there are two fuse boxes delivered.
One will allow the use on 110 Volts and the other 220 Volts.
It can also be that the fuse box can be used vor both, but needs turning around.

As others have said, it seems this PS can indeed operate at 240Vac.

However, it seems quite a hefty power supply (300W claimed) for the price, which may cast doubt about its quality/durability.

If you don't need this level of power and accept more conservative specifications, I have a clone of this QJE PS3005 that is half the power (30V / 5A - 150W) but it is quite a workhorse. I have used it many times at full capacity for long periods of time without a problem. I personally have no relationship with the seller or the brand.
