You can't use Indian appliances here. They will continually whine, work very slowly or use way too much power. They are also prone to stopping work just when you really need them and have a tendency to group in one corner smoking with all the other Indian appliances. I seriously hope you don't have any Pakistani appliances in the same house!
The gahmen is also tightening up on allowing them into the country on a permanent basis.
ROFL. Sorry.
Edit - added smoking

PS - under PUB rules you should engage a LEW (Licensed Electrical Worker) to cut the Indian plug (presumably a BS546 or IA16A3 standard plug) off and wire up a BS1363 standard plug. A local handyman can probably do it for you. Don't do it yourself.

And LEW may insist on new Circuit breakers too
As for your other post

nakatago - there is a Line of Control and you are crossing it
also thread starter - is it your appliance a 5A or a 15A appliance? if it's a microwave i'm guessing it would be a 5A appliance which should be ok, check an electrical/hardware store instead of mustafa

Electrical standards (plus and voltages) have always been a fascination to me, (I originally trained as an EEE as well). In many countries the evolution of the country and it's colonial past can be seen in the standards. For example this standard BS_546 now is the root of a standard in over half a dozen countries and yet in it's home country Britain it almost doesn't exist anymore/

Most likely OP is looking to use Preethi Mixers and Grinders
Indian Microwave ? not likely
Matter of fact, even Preethi can be purchased in Mustafa .. and you don't have to pay the cost of air-freighting the grinding stones
PS: BTW, while we seriously help the OP, the OP is totally MIA

unless he is "WATCHING FROM ABOVE .. "

You really are indian aren't you RATM? In Singapore the line voltage is 230VAC RMS +/- 10% at the power point. There hasn't ever been a 240VAC standard here. Get out of the topic you imbecile.
