I thought it was 220-240v. Everything I read has 220-240v.

 

Yes, you are officailly a slacker...but with you, that's no surprise.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] Hell, I've been here for 4-hours already. Looks like you get to work late.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/img]

 

You belong over int he spin cycle thread[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

 

I know what im buying you for Christmas. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img]

 

Hey RD, next weekend looks GREAt for riding. Should be nice and moist up there. But, no snow. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img]

 

I know[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img] they are talking about rain Sunday and again Tues/Wed[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img] However, next weekend happens to be Christmas weekend and I am booked with festivities to attend[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img] However, that following week I am open[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img] What's your schedule like then?

 

An alarm clock[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

 

A BIG one. With some HUGE speakers. And no snooze button and a battery backup. haha

 

Oh yeah. Christmas. Man, ive got my weekends ALL messed up. ahha

ive got no plans. The only plans i make are to RIDE and to SKI. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

 

That just means that it needs a min. of 220V (or 110V). We have 208/120V 3 phase at work with line to neutral or ground of 118V.

electrical trivia you probably don't care about:

PG&E residential service is 120/240V Single Phase (IIRC, 200Amp min per N.E.C.). Some apartment complexes you may find 120/208V single phase if they are feeding it with a 3phase system. 240/120V three phase has a 208V stinger leg (Phase C from PG&E, but you have to put the stinger on Phase B per N.E.C.) so it isn't used except in commercial where you have 3phase loads.

Loads listed with LOW/HIGH (120/240V) are single phase. Loads listed HIGH/LOW (208/120V, 240/120, and 480/277V) are 3 phase.

Wire Colors:
120/240V = black, red are line (Hot)
neutral = white

208/120V, 240/120 = black, red, blue are line
208V stinger = orange
neutral = white

480/277V = brown, orange, yellow (remember BOY)
neutral = grey

green is always ground.

Neutral isn't needed for multi-phase loads (208, 240 & 480V, i.e. dryers, ovens, ranges, motors, etc.)
Neutral can be shared on the same size feeder for one circuit from each phase (i.e. circuits 2 and 4 can share a neutral.) More than one per phase requires increasing the the neutral conductor. Referred to as "round robin." ALWAYS turn off all circuits of a "round robin" neutral when servicing it. 120V w/o a neutral causes things to blow up, namely UPSes feeding cash registers... (no, it wasn't me, no, I wasn't there.)
Neutrals carry voltage, up to the service voltage. BE CAREFUL!

"Clean power" isn't a real term. Usually "dirty power" is usually describing a condition where you have a bad grounding system.

Equipment calling for an "isolated ground" that is required to not be connected to the grounding system (usually calls for a local ground rod) is illegal (NEC). It must be connected back at the service. This setup can cause dangerous touch voltages and ground faults not clearing. (There are actually a lot of street light poles that are not bonded to a ground back to the service.)
