If I recall correctly, 220v ACs are more efficient than 110. CAn you
return the one you have and get one that works on 220/30/40.

(Doug, I live in the 110/220 world and don't plan to move until I
reach the Next World.)

IIRC, if you calculate the actual rms voltage, a "110" or "120" volt
line is actually 117v. Of course this is nominal, since it excludes
noise and IR drops.


How would you get that?

BTW, my outlets usually supply exactly 120V RMS.

So, yer both right.
