Re: Need some Electrical Advice--Help Please.

I know that in my area here in NY, the power is actually 117v per leg. But yours may be a little higher, that is not any bid problem. As long as you are getting the full 240-260v then its good, it would be nice like Sore Shoulder said to know the amps that you are getting. That is what is used to me...
