Using us iMac in europe

Hi! We purchased an iMac in Panama in 2018 and are in Europe now. Do we need a power adapter for using it? On the plug of the iMac it’s written 140v

thanks

iMac 21.5" 4K, macOS 10.13

Go to the nearest Apple Store, or Apple Authored Reseller/Service Center and purchase either a new power cable with the correct connector for you European locale, or a plug converter kit. See what the local market suggests for a surge protector too, in case the local power grid deliver is in poor shape. As stated, the iMac power supply is auto-sensing within the voltage delivery limits.

I'm just saying what is typical of all the Mac power supplies I've used. From iMac specs:


Electrical and Operating Requirements

  • Line voltage: 100–240V AC
  • Frequency: 50Hz to 60Hz, single phase
  • Operating temperature: 50° to 95° F (10° to 35° C)
  • Relative humidity: 5% to 95% noncondensing
  • Operating altitude: tested up to 10,000 feet
