So, we have a dedicated socket for the A/C, which looks like a plain
120V socket, but it's not, I measured it and it has 220V coming
through. So, once we get the 230V A/C in, how can I plug it in that
socket?
I've tried looking online and have been having a very hard time trying
to figure out (1) whether such an adapter (horizontal prong female to
vertical prong male) exists, and (2) how even to express this idea in
a way that I could get anything meaningful from Amazon or whatever.
*Horizontal prong are 220, "only Vertical prongs are 120", that is not
mistake and it is legal*
Not sure what you are talking about. The OP said it looks just like a
120 but has 220V. that is not legal. He is looking for an adapter to
put his 220 horizontal plug on the AC cord into.
