Hi Kevin, The 120-240V product is auto-ranging and can use either voltage with no special action required. The 120/240V product will have a voltage selector switch. I do believe this is common knowledge, at least among product safety engineers. ;)

If you were to see a product with a marked electrical rating of 120/240 V and another product with a marked rating of 120-240V, what would be the difference between these two products? Would a user or operator need to do anything special with one or both of these products to use it at 120V or 240V?
