Yong Heng- 220v versus 110v

Jump to latest Follow Reply
I don't believe the windings are any different in the 220V model. It should run fine on 220V in the USA. I do remember a few the in US using the 220V version.

So, I did a search to make sure and here are a couple of links where someone in the US was using it on 220V with out a problem.

Someone from Kansas selling a 220V model that werqed fine in his description.

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,

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!)

Thanks to all, for the replies. I always knew AGN was a forum of knowledgeable, helpful people, you just proved it, again! Glad I asked the question, but think 110v is the way to go. As GeneT, so correctly says, "No free lunches." I was somehow under the impression that selecting 220v or 110v was just a matter of preference, all costs and shipping remaining the same. Now I don't think that impression was correct. Anyway, thanks again,

WM

P.S. Bio, that private sale Yong Heng 220v is closed, but good catch, anyway.

Keep It Simple, Simon,,, KISS theory,, 110v

220 is Europe standard, our dryer 220 outlet is much larger wire size and you got rewire to fit it, just keep it simple and go 110, they work just fine, no worries, mate

the Europe 220 is one hot wire at 220 volt, US 220 is 2 hot wires at 110 volt, Are you ready to hire a electrician? for a cheap compressor? kiss the 110 model💋💕

The motor will never know the difference - there are two wires and 220V potential between them in either case. It's a new plug, that's all.

Uhh yeah and the fact that 230V in Europe is single phase (1 phase to common) whereas US 220V is between 2 phases.

We get 400V between phases and you get 220V and loads of current flow in those fat wires ;-)

Be safe.
