Default Convert a 110v to a 210v for an electric dryer

A transformer should be able to do it, if your electric supply can

don't expect that it can it a mobile home, though. See your local
electrician for details.


You prolly need a 2-phase transformer cuz traitor4 says 240v is 2-phase.


Be sure you get the right hertz. In USA, we are
needing 60 hertz transformers, in Canada, the
transformers are 50 hertz. Older transfomers in
the USA are 60 cycles per second, which works
OK now, also.

Be interesting to see if anyone notices what's
wrong with the above paragraph. Just nerds and
techies, I'd think.
