It wasn’t just me. Someone else mentioned you should power up and wait, too… I think the timer just piles on every time an attempt is made and fails. I seem to recall working on a spare radio I had a while back and fat fingering the code 3-4 times and it taking it the better part of a day to tim

I know nought of electrons and wire diagrams, but figure you would be able to jigger around the wires on the interior to fit the need. What I do see that would deter using 110v is that you have a 3hp motor. Having worked in the pool business, that is a pretty stout motor which would have been

Re: [MBZ] OT using UK appliance in US

Maybe Floyd can check out the motor.   If it is a universal motor, then he is home free.   I was not willing to assume it was.   He should probably still check out the plug with an ohmmeter to see if both prongs are isolated from the case. If indeed it was made for +230 and common, they may hav

Re: [MBZ] OT using UK appliance in US

> The motor will not run as it should on 60 cycle power.. The common brush-style motor used in small appliances, the high-speed noisy ones, are also known as "universal" motors. They will run on DC, or AC of the 20Hz, 50Hz, 60Hz variety. They simply do not care. They might have a problem with 400

Re: [MBZ] OT using UK appliance in US

True, but floyd's original post said it was rated 220-240v 50-60 cycle.   so the isolation transformer should do the trick without breaking the bank. G Mann via Mercedes February 22, 2020 at 2:18 PM Major issue not being addressed in this thread.. USA 220v is 60

Re: [MBZ] OT using UK appliance in US

Depends. UK as most of Europe has been 220V/50Hz forever. If it’s a purpose/market built appliance, and it sounds like it is, he’s probably screwed unless he wants to set up a 220V receptacle for it. It’s unlikely it could be retired for a lower voltage. -D > On Feb 22, 2020, at 2:35 PM, Floy

The converter would be easiest I think. I think it would run fine on a US receptacle? I am sure that would not fry it, but maybe it would not be safe from a shock hazard perspective? Max Dillon Charleston SC Feb 22, 2020 2:35:24 PM Floyd Thursby via Mercedes : > A buddy of mine bought an Opt
