I want to use this unit in the ground floor of my home in Italy to control moisture/humidity problem. It will be wall mounted at floor level and exhausted outside. ANy concerns with this application? Power there is 220v 50 cycle. Will this unit work...

I works well but do set a clicker like the ones used for ceiling fans to be able to turn it on and off without a wall switch. Also clean it up frequently by wiping dust out if the grid and fans

That's how I used it- it was fine. Just make sure you are using an outdoor extension cord or plugged into a GFCI outdoor outlet. (I'm not en electrician, just stating my experience).

US units are 110V, Europe runs on 220V. This will slow down the unit causing it to overheat. So, yes, it would work. But I would not recommend it.

Need a humidistat for the &lt;50% outside part. Found these on Amazon: IMAGE 110V Digital Air Humidity Control Controller WH8040 Range 1%~99% RH HM-40 Type It requires 120 vac power Household power, and its contacts can only handle 5 amps at 120 vac. If your 120 vac fan draws less than 5 amps, you could use this. or, C.A.P. HUM1 - Humidity Controller Really nice, but expensive.

Not sure I fully understand this question. I am an Electrical Engineer and have two of these units in both my main and summer homes. This is a 220 volt single phase unit. It provides transient protection for a typical home. It also provides phone protection which I do not use. Most homes have two 120VAC lines coming to the home with the transformer center tap providing the neutral/ground. The neutral wire is connected to the building ground inside the main service panel. This unit connects to both 120 VAC buses (through a 220 circuit breaker 30 Amp circuit breaker), the neutral wire, and the building ground (which is also the case of the panel and also connected to the neutral in the main panel). This unit is mounted very close to the panel. This is not for three phase power (if that is the question). This is intended for the typical household power distribution. In my opinion, this is a very good unit with a replaceable module should service be required. The Square D website provides additional information reqarding the energy absorption ratings for the module in the unit.

It is for the US market...120 volts unless you can get the switchable, dual voltage sold in Europe. If it's not advertised,...assume it is 120 volts that is needed for supplying power. The internal low voltage power should be DC, so, you could always get a transformer to step your 220/230 volt source down to 120 volts. I assume you live in an area that has 220/230 volt service at the wall outlets. Good luck, Hugo!

I used mine in Italy with no problems. I imagine it can be used in London as well as long as you have the electrical converter that adapts there.

My electrician ran 8/4. 2 hot, 1 neutral and 1 ground. He said because of the distance from the panel (27 Ft ) #8 was best. Had it been a shorter run, # 10 would have been ok. Why are you using 3 wire romex? If you are going to run the heater on 120V, be sure and read the manuel and make any required internal wiring changes. You will get much less heat output on 120v. I am not an electrician but this is what I understood from my electrician. My garage is 500sf and is insulated, even at single digit temps outside it will be around 70 deg. inside when set on med. Hope this was helpful. I love the heater at this point.

I live in Lima, Peru, so I understand your concern. Luckily, this pad works on any voltage up to 220! Also, as an aside, the unit runs for 20 minutes and then shuts off automatically. I didn't like that, so I took the control box off, which required some cutting of wires and re-soldering some connections, but now it stays on as long as it's plugged in.

Unfortunately, your idea doesn't work as described on a 2-wire 220 circuit. That is, unless you use the bare ground as a neutral, and that isn't really too Kosher, although logically I don't know why. It would be nice to see what my submersible well pump, window mount A/C unit and air compressor are using.

First off I am no electrician however I did wire in a bath fan to mine. I would think if your dehumidifier has only a on off switch you could wire this dehumidistat to the outlet. Power going to the dehumidistat first thus controlling when the outlet would or would not have power. Once again I am not an electrician.

The unit is rated to address moisture in a 1000 sq ft area. I would not expect it to function well past that point.It should work fine as long as you do not exceed operating parameters. This includes the size of the storage facility and air flow in said facility. If you use unit in an "drafty" area, you will negate function. But otherwise it should work well.

It appears from this map that all of Europe is 230 V, 50 hz. The dryer should work as long as the current supplied can keep up.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Weltkarte_der_Netzspannungen_und_Netzfrequenzen.svg

Yes, this unit will work, without any problems. We bought it because the regualar (subsidised) units are twice as expensive. Hook it up to a seperate 16 Amps curicuit and you are good to go. No 110V to 220V conversion needed. Got it working under 20 minutes.

It should work fine. I am using it in Jordan to step down from 220V to 110 on my 1400W vacuum. pretty good product.

I'm not sure what the electrical standards are in Italy. I only used it in France. What I found in France was that though this has two dryer settings (high and low), only the high setting worked when using the dryer there while both settings worked in the US. I'd recommend you research to see if france and Italy have the same standards before purchasing. Hope this helps.

According to the owner's manual that I got with the treadmill, "This product should only be run on the proper power designed for this unit." The label for this unit says 100 - 120 Volts, so it will not work on European voltages. This wording in the manual suggests that they might make a 240 V version, I would check with LifeSpan.
