Looking at the wiring digram, to my interpretation,
it's not combining two
115V lines, all the loads in the unit appear to run from 230V.
The way it is labelled with 'Neutral and 230V' suggests it was meant for a
European type supply or a commercial 230V supply, that is: single phase 230V
relative to a 0V neutral, along with a protective ground.
However, both wires (230V and Neutral) in the unit have control devices
(switches, relays) in them, so it would appear to (should) be OK to run from
the two hot legs of a North American residential supply 230V (split-phase
115-neutral-115 with protective ground, with no need for the neutral
connection).
The spec sheet also mentions 208V which is another voltage supplied in North
America to commercial or light industrial consumers (2 legs of ?120V 3-phase
Y connection).
Clear as mud?
It's a commercial dish washer that's actually hooked up and running in
my kitchen now. I installed a subpanel and ran a separate 30 amp 220
line. It works great. I was just wondering whether it would work on
european power.
