Europe uses 50 Hz current rather than 60 Hz in North America. I would assume that most transformers nowadays can handle both, but it would be worth confirming.

how to run a 230 volt line from my panel??
Just for every ones information. NEC 2011 Article 210.6 (A) Occupancy Limitation. In dwelling units, and similar occupancies, the voltage shall not exceed 120 volts, nominal, between conductors that supply, (2) Cord-and-plug loads 1440 Va, nominal, or less or less than 1/4 HP. Fluffers, It's a CDP.... Power consumption is next to nothing. JMO buy a small step-up transformer. Also worth mentioning the 230V CDP was designed to be fed from a 230V AC grounded power system. A hot, (the ungrounded conductor), and a neutral, (the grounded conductor). Good chance only one line, the hot conductor is fused inside the CDP. Good chance the power switch is a single pole and only breaks one line, the hot conductor. . |
You have to make sure you have sufficient service to the panel first, and then http://www.ehow.com/how_5471283_add-outlet.html |
Rodman The chassis will not get "live" in the event you describe, chassis is wired with ground only, not neutral. The three wires terminated in a standard 110V outlet in a residential setting are Phase, Neutral and Ground. In a standard 220V outlet it is Phase, Opposing Phase and Ground there is no neutral. Again I strongly recommend that you get an electrician to do this for you this way you should avoid any costly mixups. Good Listening Peter |
