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

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
The PS should switch between 120 and 240 Volt services. You might need a wall outlet adapter, however.
So I should just try and hope it works :)?
