Ram,
Here in Europe, single phase power is 50Hz, 220V, so you'll need a
step up transformer. The difference in frequency is not really a
problem. These powersupplies are usually not of the 'switching' type,
but are of the 'fixed' type.
That funny looking plug might be a 3 phase power outlet BTW.
I don't know the power requirements you need, but a 1KW transformer
weights about 10Kg (23 Lbs?)

Hi,
Probably some of you have already done this. I have an equipment, a
parsytec xplorer, that runs a 220v. I got it from across the pond.
Since I am in the states and the power output is 110v, is there any way
for me to run this without getting a transformer to pump it up to
220v??? Unfortunately, the parsytec doesnt convert automatically like
PC and laptops of today. In my apartment, there is a funny looking plug
next to out AC. I remember somewhat vaugely that it is actually 220v.
Is this true??? How did you guys solve this problem???? I want to get
a good solid response before I blow up the machine :-)
