Jens - Can you install any 220V outlets in your garage ? Typical setup in US/Canada is for homes to have 3 incoming wires (120V-neutral-120v). Most outlets are 120V, which is across the neutral line and either of the 120V "hot" leads. To get 240VAC, use both 'hot' leads.. At the meter/circuit-breaker panel you have ready access to 240VAC.
Another option, and it's ugly, is to locate 2 AC outlets that are powered from different 'hot' sources; that will get you double the line voltage across the 2 'hot' leads. Most likely, the 60Hz mains in Canada wont impact your soldering station that operates on 50Hz. I have an extra 120V / 20Amp isolation transformer (and it can step-up/step-down for 220V) that I would be happy to give to you, but it's too heavy to ship. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "neonixie-l" group.
