[TheForge] 220V equipment.

[terry l. ridder]

hello geoff;

240 volt 60 hz 1-phase is common in the usa.
240 volt 60 hz 3-phase will cost you.

i would assume that most of your equipment would not have a problem with
the 240 volt instead of the 220 volt. that being said i am not sure
about the 60 hz instead of 50 hz. that may prove to be a problem.
