if i feed a 240 volt into a step-up transformer of 100v-240v, what will happen

am trying to help a friend cook up a voltage step-up gadget from his defective voltage of 100 to 240 volt, but my fear is that, when the power regulatory authority restore the quality of the power in his house, what will happen to the step-up gadget???

You'll get 576 rms volts on the output. But that's a very high voltage which could kill you in an instant. I do hope this is a theoretical question and your not planning on actually doing this.

Contact the electricity supplier and get the supply put right. The voltage may be low now, if there is a fault, it may go high

Do not try to bodge the mains.
