Default Question: US 220 vs Aussie 220

The furnace in question probably runs over $1000 new. A new
transformer large enough to power it would be less than $200.


I can't find the post describing it, but if this oven is just resistive,
frequency does not matter, period.

And it may be possible to get 240V heaters for it to replace the 120V.
There may some other ugly hack possible; put a another resistive
heater of the same load in series, etc.
