what does it mean that 240v easily converts to 120v? and how is this done?

This model only connects to 240V. Some Broan models can connect to either a 120V or 240V source. The conversion involves disconnecting and reconnecting wires inside the unit. This is covered in the instructions that come with the unit or viewed on the Broan website.

No Problem. The system monitors both incoming mains. 120V devices run off one of these, plus the neutral. Their consumption is monitored by the clamp on that main. 240V devices involve both mains, and get monitored by both clamps.

Yes, I bought a thing called a Isolating Performer in Australia, fairly expensive about AU$350, which converts 120V to 240V. I use it for this mincer plus a electric mixer and a waffle maker all 120V.

Hi, I checked my unit, 110, did not see a switch to change that anywhere. So if you are running 240 you will need an adapter.

120v and 115v are used imterchangeably. It just means standard AC incoming power.

I believe the voltage rating is 120 volts. To do 240 v you would need an adaptor.

Thank you for you inquiry regarding the Q-Redew. The Q-Redew is only available with 120 voltage at this time. We do not recommend converting/adapting the power, as it may shorten the working life of the Q-Redew.We do have plans to bring Q-Redews with 240 voltage to the market in the near future.Kind Regards,HeidiQ-Redew Co-Founder

i have no idea about 240v use. i am just using it very successfully on house plug in.

It does work fine with 120V. As far as I know, the 2-wire installation is actually for 120V and the 4-wire for 240, but I'm not an electrician (though US 240 is typically 3 or 4 wire).

It depends on what kind of product you want to use. Some electronics such as Cell phone chargers and Laptop chargers already support 220-240V and do not require a voltage converter.

My apoligies. I read the instructions just now and you are right! Earlier I just looked at the plug and the shaver for a switch fror the 240V option and assumed (wrongly) that without the switch it wouldn't work above 120V. Sorry for my error. Regards.

This is NOT a converter, it is an adapter. It allows you to use US-standard plugs in a variety of foreign outlets. It does NOT convert higher voltage to 110V and you will fry an appliance unless it is already suited for 100/240 use (like most computer power supplies are). All you need to do is look at the device you need to use and see what it will handle for voltage - if it says something like 100-240V you can use this adapter anywhere, otherwise you need to get a step-down transformer (heavier and usually a bit more expensive).

It's only for 120 volts. However you can buy a switching power cord for it, $20 on Amazon, that will convert it to 240v

I use a 50amp @ 240VAC breaker. I would not go lower than that.I don't use it in 120V mode, but if I did it would be for light work (16 gauge rods) and I would use a 30 amp breaker, keeping in mind "light work only", otherwise it will trip the breaker. Bear in mind that normal 120V household circuits are 15 - 30 amp circuits, so if you intend to exceed 30 amps in 120V mode, run a dedicated circuit using suitably rated (50 amps) conductor wires.Hope that this helps.

Dear Kayoko,It's possible that there is a 240V version, but we only have access to the 120V.Eric C

can I assume you want to know if its 120 or 240 switchable? The units comes with its own AC to DC converter on the plug. The transformer says 100-240 volts AC at 50-60Hz input, and the unit takes 42volts DC output it's converted too. So Yes it can use 100-240 volts AC however your receptacle must be able to fit the units plug for 240VAC mine uses 120 and it fits perfectly. if your receptacle is the same as a 120VAC receptacle, even it its wired for 240VAC, then your good.Understand the power cord has its own voltage converter built into it.BTW the picture quality is Super Fantastic. much better than I had assumed it could do. can I assume you want to know if its 120 or 240 switchable?

I have always use only 120v. I never considered using 220v and I don't know how one would. Maybe there is a way it can be converted but don't know how that is done. I recommend inquiring with the company (Rigid) they were most helpful with a probblem I had. Sorry I cannot help more. bobb1935
