   I am shortly moving to Canada and have quite a bit of UK electrical
   equipment to take. Obviously, this is rated at 240V, 50Hz. Whats the
   deal with transformers to convert 110->240? What sort of power ratings
   are available? Enough to power a 3KW kettle? Or is it better to buy
   stuff over there that is rated at 110V?

   Also, is it possible to wire two outlets in series to get 220V? Or is
   that asking for trouble!?

You can install 15A, 230-240V receptacles and meet the Canadian electric code.
You can run a circuit to the distribution panel,
or (not to code) connect to the split 120-120V
receptacles that all recently wired kitchen counters have.

However, if you plug in any non-CSA approved appliances into any outlet,
and they cause a fire, your insurance will not pay any claims.

3KW kitchen appliances must be wonderful. We don't have anything
in north america over 1750 watts, and they all are much lower power than
an electric or gas range.
