can it be wired up to 208 volt?

I believe it can be, if done correctly by a licensed Electrician. However, wouldn't that deny the use of this units full heating potential; giving away about 1400 Watts worth of heating? I'm not a professional Electrician that you should be asking about this.I think it still would need to be directly wired into the main Electrical box with #10-2 with Ground, or use the 220v pigtail and plug that ships with this unit and wire a matching 240 vac receptical box into your main electrical Breaker Box.

Sorry out of town for a month! 208 can be used but it will produce 25% less wattage and draw 13% less amps! I like mine operating 220 and keeping a 24 by 24 garage warm enough.

It said it should be either 120 or 240 volts depending on the hookup kit you use. It might work on 208, just wouldn't get as much heat as with 240. I can't personally vouch on this.

I have the single page installation and maintenance manual in front of me here. There is a warning on the front page of this manual that states the model KBP2406 can operate on 208 VAC. According to the warning there will be 25% less wattage draw and 13% less Amps. It comes shipped from the factory configured for maximum wattage which is 5700 watts at 240 VAC. At 208 VAC that would be reduced to 4275 watts and one would still need to feed using #10 wire size. Fed with 240 VAC the possible configurations are: 5700, 4750, 3800, 2850, and 1900 watts. The 3800 watt configuration specifies #12 wire minimum. Above 3800 watts specifies #10 wire and below 3800 watts specifies #14 wire. My setup plugs into a welder outlet in the garage. Additional parts are required and for my application the following additional parts were purchased: Feed wire; #10 SOOW-C3. (I'm using 24 feet and the heater is working fine with that.), Winged(1 Pkg)wire nuts: Commercial Electric 498-378., 3/4" Strain Relief: Halex ACC #21694., (this strain relief/clamp Pkg didn't come with an electrical locknut, consider using one if possible) Wall Plug: Leviton 275-T configured for 30 Amps for my application. (Matched to wall outlet) The heater has pigtails inside that are prestripped so it's a simple matter of using wire nuts to make the mains and ground connections inside the heater. The most difficult part is punching out the 3/4" knock out blank in the back of the heater. I resorted to backing one side with a wrench socket and working the knock out side to side. There are 2 knockouts; one is 3/4" and the other is 1/2". For #10 wire size one must utilize the 3/4" knockout. In summary, then, yes you can connect this heater to 208 VAC. I would just like to reiterate how impressed I am with how well this heater performs. We will never be without one ever again!

If you read the description you'll see that it's 110/220 volts... It will arrive wired for 110 volts, read the re-connection directions to wire it for 220 volts... Be advised,,, this unit IS TOP HEAVY!!! Use care when moving it!! Don't ask me how I know !!! Gene

ABSOLUTELY no!! That's ridiculous! Why would it need such large voltage?? Plain old 110 is what I have mine plugged into and it works great! I got it for my husband for Christmas and I think he has 1000 miles on it already!

It is designed for 120 volt. If you have the right adapter ( transformer ) you probably could.

I do not think so. It has a 3-prong plug that only fits in 110-120 volt receptacles.

I think not it comes standard with 120Volts.You would probably need a "stepup" transformer adapter

There is a listing on Ebay for an Ecosmart ECO 11 that says it works at 208 volts. I would call the manufacturer to be sure.

If you have a voltage converter maybe. It only comes with a standard 120v plugin.

The item can you be used upto 250 volts. It can be used with 110 volts as well.
2070266
for sure. or you can use a controller that changes it back to 12 volt. controller is key either way

Yes it can be plugged into any 120v outlet that it physically fits... The timer keeps it's time and settings when unplugged.

No, it does not. The instructions and the component itself state that it is for 120 volts.
745016
Yes. It has dual 4-ohm coils. Can be wired to either 2-ohm or 8-ohm depending on your configuration.

Not wired for 220, not sure if there are internal connectionsthat allow for repositioning for 220. Probably only suitedfor conventional home use @ 115vac 60 cycles.

NO....you plug it into the wall socket rated at 110 volts or so. Good luck.

i dont think so, here in the states that voltage is too high it runs on 110volts

to my knowledge it is wired for 120 volt USA household current, I do not know if they make a UK version
