Anyone know if the internal motor windings are different? Also, any experience finding an adapter to connect Yong Heng 220v plug to electric dryer(GE) 220v outlet? Any thoughts from those who might have looked into selecting 220v over 110v are welcome. Thanks,
WM
Forget the adapter - buy the 'right' cordcap (plug) to fit your dryer socket, cut off whatever came with the YH, and attach the new cordcap. I don't know of an adapter, but even if I did, it doesn't make sense to use one unless it's very temporary. The wiring is easy, but if you're not comfortable with it ask a few friends - someone is bound to have done one before.
The primary difference between Euro 220V and US 220V is the frequency - 50Hz vs 60Hz respectively. This typically has little effect on motors, except that running a Euro motor at 60Hz will run it a little faster than the nameplate rpm. (About 12.5% faster, to be specific...) You might get better performance! (If you do, you will have more heat to dissipate from your compressor - no free lunches!)
