[Amps] 115 to 220 VAC

[donroden at hiwaay.net]

Paul,

Your example is a box with two 115vac  plugs that need to be plugged  
into phase #1 and Phase #2 to "make" 230vac ..... something that would  
be hit-or-miss depending on the way the room was wired originally.   
Could be tough to find a room with two different phases on close-by  
outlets.  Might need extension cords as part of the plan.
