Most likely your system is configured for 220VAC
operation, by use of
the switches on the backs of the various units - or, what is less likely,
is that your folks have a 120V dryer...
No, the system is setup for 120V. I take it, that it is the Washing
Machine that uses 120V, since my memory would appear to be faulty.
DO NOT HOOK YOUR 120V PDP11 INTO A 220V DRYER
OUTLET!!!!!
Agreed, I'm just trying to suggest where to find a circuit that can handle
the Amperage. I would never suggest trying to use an incorrect Voltage, and
I would hope anyone trying to mess with such a system would know better.
I'm scared now...
Be more afraid, I'm an ex-Electrician :^/
