As devices like home fridges move towards “inverter drive” with switch mode power supplies, I wonder how low of a voltage they could still run off. And if they’d happily accept 48VDC and still function.

Saw a teardown/repair of a big home flatscreen TV and while the label on the outside said “120VAC”, the power supply inside said 120/240V, so it was the same internals worldwide, but labelled differently to discourage gray-market imports.
