Every house has 240 volts which you can use through a 240 volt breaker and wiring the outlet as 240 volts. However, most of the circuits in a house will be 120 volts because the breaker panel is split into two, 120 volt legs. I have four 240 volt outlets in my house. One in the kitchen for the oven, one in the laundry room for a dryer, and two in my workshop for welders and other 240 volt tools. If you want to run you equipment on 240 volts, have an electrician put in the correct wiring and an outlet.

Just get one of these to convert your 110v to 220v 15amp or 20amp https://www.quick220.com/220_catalog/voltage-converters.html Cheers George |
** Note: The Quick 220® Power Supply uses two outlets from two different circuits that are out of phase and not controlled by ground fault interupters (GFI’s). The Quick 220® Power Supply has built in circuitry to test for the out of phase circuits. A separate tester is supplied to check the outlet for a GFI. Most buildings have numerous outlets that meet these two requirements.https://www.quick220.com/-A220-15D.html Note the two power cords hardwired, connected, to the converter. ** Note: The Quick 220® Power Supply uses two outlets from two different circuits that are out of phaseTherein one 120V wall outlet fed from Line 1 to neutral and one 120V outlet fed from Line 2 to neutral. Difference of potential, voltage, between Line 1 and Line 2 = 240V nominal. . |
