If I'm right about the unlabeled voltage yes. If you try it, make sure there's enough space between you and that circuit. If the voltage does step down somewhere between the wall and that circuit board, it could get hot fast, smoke, and possibly start a fire. That's why I recommended not using it. But it may be fine too. Without more info I can't say 100%. I would try it outside with a long extension cord lol. Wouldn't be the first smoke test I've performed...

Smoke test aren't necessarily a bad thing as long as you are prepared for it. Yeah I've been guilty of a few myself. Some I was prepared for and some I unfortunately was not. Let's just say a 24 volt system pushing about 1300 amps makes a fairly impressive arc when grounded.

Also do what is best for the majority of your eggs, not just the one egg.

Fairly impressive would be an understatement. I've shorted a car battery before and melted a wrench. Yours is 4x worse than that!

I might fire up the upright incubator that doesn't work as well for this one egg for the first few days, because these are pretty expensive Ayam Cemani eggs that I really want to hatch.
