that was my point, AB2TC is in the US - wouldn't you all have 120v?

99% of dwellings here have the standard 220v, very few have 3 phase 440v and then only for some specialist equipment.

Up to 1000 watts draw (500 watts with 50% efficiency) on a normal 120 volt 15 amp circuit is practical, but attempting to run more than becomes marginal.
