"All uk appliances are 230v rated, as is the supply so fitting 110 v sockets would not be feasible, hope this helps"

"It really depends of power of that appliances.

Some of it could be switched to 240 internally."

"oooh, you have to be careful there spike/ first of all us is generally 110 volts, but 60 cycles. frequency not 50 cycles as the uk is. in short so you may need a transformer with a frequency converter for that, would need to know what types of appliaces, what loading they are as the transformer may be only 0.7 power factor ie only 70% efficient"
