Voltage states 240. Is this right? I only utilize 240 for airconditioners, washers, etc. No free 240 line.

No. This is a great system that has operated perfectly for several years at 120 volts a/c.

Hi, I have this computer connected to 110 v grid. However computers as this one can work in any grid from 220 to 110 v. The AC to DC transformer can handled both. I hope this helps. Regards

So I'm not gonna sugar coat....the breaker opened at 4800w surge on test. Meaning 20a @ 240v. Might be the cheap Chinese breaker on the unit, might be a realistic shock load for it to bear.

Please google images on this connector and wire. I think the wire you are using is for 120 VAC and not 240 VAC. You should have 4 conductor (Black/Black, white, green or Black/Red, white green) 2 phase @ 240V, Neutral and Ground.

Those are the old current ratings. Now, it is 120/240, and this is a 120 volt product (normal household current). It does call for its own 20 amp breaker protected circuit, but I did not install one. I ran it on the same circuit which has handled two bathrooms and their exhaust fans for 50+ years. I have had no problem with tripped breakers when using my heater function, exhaust function, light and other lights on that circuit simultaneously. If you go that route but start tripping the breaker on the circuit, you will have to run a new line with a dedicated breaker.

There is no indication in the owner's manual or specifications that it will work at 240 volts. Ordinarily, if a power unit could do that, it would not only be mentioned, it would be a selling point. So I would say no, it doesn't work at 240. The design seems to be specifically for the U.S. market, including the style of the power cord (3 prong). A direct connection to a 3 prong grounded outlet IS required for this unit to work correctly. Not doing so voids the attached equipment warranty.

Not sure, the unit is installed on a vacation home and only used in winter months when the furnace in running, not often enough to really notice. I did speak with Aprilaire regarding an installation issue, and they strongly recommend 240v. to maximize the unit's effectiveness and reduce energy cost.

In the USA we use 120 v for most small appliances. (Large central air conditioners use 220 v). You can get a voltage converter to go from 120 v to 220 v.

the manual does make a mention of this. it says its 120 V. I tried contacting customer service, but they didn't seem sure too. i went ahead and ordered mine, and i checked the voltage, ITS 120 - 240 V..

The manual that comes with the unit states 110VAC or 220VAC (+ or -) 10% single phase. Thus, 10% added to 220 = 242V. If the manual is right it should be able to run on 240VAC if you system actually supplies that voltage.

240 works much better. 120 with a plug cord cannot by electrical code be installed by an electrician. .only hard wired. If it came with a plug, he can plug it in. If it didn't, he only can hard wire it. 240 volt is available at the furnace, so he can use that to efficiently wire the humidifier. The 120 option won't boil the water quick enough to run long enough on the heat cycle unless you run the fan continuously after the heat has shut off. This unit works best by far on 240 volt.

I used mine on 240V and it seemed to work just fine :) This was only for a test though as I bought it to use overseas, so I can't say 100% for long term use.

Voltage is likely incorrect here. US version is for 120 V, 3.5A (see manufacturer web site for details). 240 V versions probably draw less current and have similar power. Other voltage versions are likely to be found on other Amazon sites for countries with other standard voltages.

It really doesn't need to be converted to 240. It works just fine on 110. If you are still wanting to convert you need to get a licensed electrician to do it as you are dealing with water and electricity and the two do not mix.

Willie, I am not an HVAC expert, but, this kit is for 240 volt use. I would check with your RV A/C service person before ordering it. Joe from Kalamazoo

I looked at the safety instructions and it said "Standard Dryers are designed to operate at 110 to 125 volts A.C." I hope this helps.

Hi Scott, On the voltage label on my unit reads " 98 - 240 V/AC. 50 - 60 Hz " So yes I received the multi-voltage version. Hope this helps.

You need to ask an electrician. I just plugged mine in to a standard American 110 wall outlet and it works great. Oh and both washer and dryer run and works on the same outlet at the same time.
