[ICOM] PW-1 220 VAC US wiring?

[Doug Renwick]

Here is a simple solution.
Change the PW-1 male plug to a 4 wire male plug.
In the 4 wire male plug ONLY connect the hot, hot and ground, leaving
the neutral(white) in the female socket unattached to your PW-1.
I think with your limited knowledge that you should have an electrician
do the work so you don't get hurt.

The water jump is long and the barrier may be high, 
you might break every bone, but it's so much fun to fly!

Thank you Adam.

I guess I am not making myself very clear.

My Dryer HAD a 3-wire plug on it. I moved, and the new house has a
4-wire
socket. So, I had to rewire the Dryer with a 4-wire plug. The
instructions
were in the Dryer owners manual.

My PW-1 HAS a 3-wire plug on it, that was used in VA on 200-240vac.

The instructions on p. 5 of the PW-1 user manual is fine for "3-wire"
connections. If I have to plug it into a 4-wire socket, how do I do
that?

And I don't want to connect it to 120vac, and only get 500 watts out.

If an electric dryer manual can tell me how to hook it to 4-wire, then
ICOM
or this forum should be able to tell me about my PW-1 too<g>.

Thanks
Kent
