Be sure to wire the recepticle correctly, and provide proper fuse (breaker) for the load. claypa West Pottsgrove, PA (Zone 6b) June 4, 2007 10:25 AM Post #3573015 There are converters / transformers that do this too.

He shook his head emphatically, and said it can't be done that way- then proceeded to explain to me exactly why (none of which I understood!) But, in closing-he said the best advice he could give was to hire an experienced electrician (union or non-union) and have it done. I wish I had better news to report. Sasha
