It depends on what else is on your circuit. If you have a 15 amp circuit and you are already running two lamps, the rig, a computer and monitor, and a bunch of other accessories, you may exceed the circuit rating when you key down. Add up everything that is fed off the same circuit (not just the outlet).

No problems here.  I ran out of 110 outlets and had the 230VAC outlet empty and 
just changed the KPA500 to 230VAC from 120VAC and noticed no differences.
