Dryer plug for our British treadmill???
Our British treadmill is a juicy 5' from our (U.S.) 220V dryer outlet,
and since that treadmill has now blown the third fuse (in as many weeks) on our specially-bought transformer (though I reckon the fault lies more with house voltage spikes), I am wondering.... Can I safely replace the British plug on the end of the treadmill with a dryer plug? (And, if so, could anyone give guidance as to how this might be done?) Long shot: Does anyone know if plug adapters exist for this sort of thing?? Treadmill: 6 A, 50/60 Hz, 230V NEMA 14 30R outlet: 30A, 125/250V Many thanks, doublethegarlic |

Treadmill: 6 A, 50/60 Hz, 230V
NEMA 14 30R outlet: 30A, 125/250V doublethegarlic Yes. A 30 amp plug on a 6 amp load will work. |

Dear Larry and Jeff,
Thanks for your help regarding amps and circuit breaker wiring. I finally located the niggly little fuses through Gould (5x20mm 15A 250V), but perhaps a _direct_ 240 line to the fuse box will be the best/safest longterm bet. ?? Thanks again, doublethegarlic |
