I have an office where I am blowing the fuse from time to time. I
want to see if I can run my 110V air conditioner on the 220V outlet in
the office that isn't being used for anything.
I understand that there can be some problems with frequency when doing
this type of thing, if you are trying to use a monitor or TV or
something, but I am just hooking up an air conditioner.
Someone told me that I could just rig up something by leaving one of
the 2 live prongs out, and wiring it to a normal 110v plug. Is that
true?
Otherwise, where could I buy something that would do the conversion?
I saw this site: http://www.voltageconverters.com/voltage_converters.html,
but it looks like there is no plug for fitting into the 220v outlet,
which has one of the prongs at a perpendicular to the other, as
opposed to both being parallel.
Any thoughts?
