- Hello list, I've had an SB220 in the past and am looking for another one, but I will have to run it on 120 volts, How does the 10A breaker handle the change? I've never heard of anyone changing the

- Hi Dick, According to the SB220 schematic, each circuit breaker feeds one primary winding. IOW, just fine. The problem is, you need a STIFF 120V source to avoid dynamic instability of the HV. My SB22

- 10A is pushing your luck. That's 1200 Watts total on that circuit and the wire for a 10A circuit will give plenty of voltage drop under load. All my 120 VAC circuits are either 15A, or 30A with appro
