>>hay gang, been soem time since I posted here. I have a friend on 220 volt system, and has a hard time finding 220 volt flexwatt.
>>
>>I told him if he splits the 220 over 2 identical length, and same width, strips of flexwatt, it will split the line voltage of 220 to apply 110 volts to each. I think what is confusing him, is flex is it's own parellel curcuit of resistance.
>>
>>So, what ya think?
NO
First off flexwatt can't be run in series it won't work.
Two it can't take 220 period unless calorique makes a 220 version but you can't run straight 220 through flexwatt.
However, it depends on what country he is in. If he is in the US and has a 220 outlet which one L6 or L14, NEMA L6 is the typical single phase 220 outlet while L14 is the 3 phase version.
**Very Dangerous do not attempt with out proper supervision**
It is possible to wire flexwatt to the L6 but its most likely not recommended. In order to do so you have to split the cicuit one flexwatt cicuit per hot feed. To make 220 we wire to 110's together, an L6 has 3 prongs 2 hot one ground. You would than have to wire both neutral returns together back to the ground.
**This can be very dangerous**
Of course if you have another 220 outlet it may be totally different. Its also possible to wire a 220 outlet back to 110 but an electrician should be used.
For any other questions contact Calorique directly,
