You already have 240V AC on your 'pole pigs' ! What's more it's centre tapped and BALANCED ! How much better could you want ? > Then again, what do I know?

Bunch of good she was though ! > Backwater? You bet, but .... what can you do? We're not looking at losing our auto industry. We already did that, sold it it to off and continued. Graham

They already have it. It's even BALANCED ! And it's not available everywhere. The US will always run on 110v 60Hz same as we will always drive on the left. Deal with it and stop making such a fool of yourself. Phildo
