RE: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] US 220 vs EURO 220

When I was on business in Budapest a few years ago, the "house power" was
two wire 220 volt. The lamp filaments were rated at 220 volts. Bring some
back to the States, and they'll last forever. Of course, you won't get very
much light from them and won't like the color of it either. The only 110/120
in the hotel room was in the lavatory for the shaver. It could not provide
much current at all.

I have an RF amplifier that was built for US & export.
There is no neutral involved in it's operation. That is, every blower motor
and fan motor is 220 v. The connection is three wire - with no separate
neutral, only a safety ground. I think that in some countries there would be
no 110 volts ( measured to neutral ) or ground. There may be an active
contributor on this list that lives where you intend to go. If so, profound
wisdom should prevail.
