I am not sure about the SB220 but the SB200 does not require a neutral
connection
on 220 volts. The fan is the only 120 volt item in the amp. It gets connected
from
one hot side to the center connection of the transformer primary. This acts as
an
auto transformer to give 120 volts for the fan. The chassis ground still goes to
the green wire (center pin) as it did with the 120 volt connection. No neutral
connection is needed as there is no 120 volts as far as the line is concerned.
