Using TRIAC with America voltage 110V 1ph, or 220V 2ph

Dear all,

I am trying to power on a TRIAC VMC, this machine has been without use for some years now. It is installed in american continent where most of the power is 1phase 110V + 1 neutral; or 2 phases each one 110V (this is our 220 Voltage), and frequency is 60 Hz.

From the dataplate I noted the following:

Voltage: 240V
F.L.C: 11A, 50Hz, 1 Phase

Have you ever had this issue while powering your Denford machine?

Thanks for advising

The machine was probably supplied with a seperate autotrancformer in a box. this would convert the 110V to 230 or 240V.
