They have multi tap transformers, shouldn't be an issue

But have you ever tried it?

 

Usually I pull a leg off for an outlet and plug into the outlet.

 

Jim I had the sparky wire it by pulling one leg off of it. He wired it to the 230 wire in the clock. It worked for a couple days , then stopped. When I went back I put my meter on it and it was showing 15 v . So I switched the wire to the 120 wire at the clock. It worked for a couple days , then stopped. I ended up telling the builder that he had to get me 110 as I was told there would be 110 there when I started the job.

I wonder if Hunter isn't trying to account for the modern practice of having a neutral wire for any appliance running on 230. (the original 3-pronged plugs for ranges and electric dryers are now 4-pronged plugs)

 

The ICC2 uses a dual-tap transformer with 120 and 230 VAC connections. Any ICC2 no matter where it's sold (domestic or international) can be wired 120 or 230.

 

in Europe they use 220/230 (there is no 120) in the US i don't believe you would be able to successfully wire 230 into that transformer,

the international 223v your getting that from one leg (one wire)& a neutral in the US to get 230v you need to legs (2 hot wires no neutral)

That is what the manual shows, but how often does one see 3 wire 230?

 

I believe hunter is using the term “neutral” in place of what most transformer diagrams call “common”. I have used these transformers many times when in a past life I was in the HVAC field and also in the irrigation world. The likely hood that Hunter has some proprietary trasformer as apposed to mislabeling a rebranded off the shelf transformer is doubtful.

 

Common and neutral are the same thing just different terms. Either way 230 doesn’t use either (in ‘Mercia)

 

Yes there are applications where 220 circuits include a neutral wire.

This is for wiring a sub panel (not wiring a load), your hot leg a and b are still only going to have 120v each.

the only time I've seen 220 needing neutral wire is for GFCI breakers , like in pond aerators. And it's not for the aerator motor it's for the breaker to work correctly to prevent a shock.

 

Last time I looked code for 230 is both a common and a neutral. Though I know it's often not done that way. Heck I've seen 230 done with 2 hot legs and nothing else

 

Neutral is the correct terminology although "common wire" is often used.

Here's a link explaining the difference between the neutral wire and the grounding wire:

None of these modern diagrams allows for adding a master valve to a system by tying the MV/Pump output to earth ground, completing the circuit hundreds of feet away by a ground wire clamp on the copper pipe in the meter pit.
