36amp fuse? WTF? As long as its 230-240v on single phase itll work in domestic 3 pin plug socket.

Or are you on about the fuse size with regards to a domestic ring main?

they should give you the correct transformer/adaptor to use it if you rent one...

it wont be on 110v, the blue plug is 240v and when you hire it you will get a adapter with the blue end and a normal 3pin plug,
