You just run 220 from the panel to it. Almost every US house has 220 outlets for the dryer and stove anyhow. All your doing is using a different shaped plug, and like, wires are wires, they fit into a euro plug the same as they fit into a NEMA plug.

daggermoon@lemmy.world 1 month agoYou can install a European outlet in a US home? How is it compatible?

Technically it wouldn't be to us code. It would be way smarter to just install a NEMA outlet and use an adapter, or even better just replace the plug on the kettle.

I don’t actually live in the US, just somewhere that happens to use 110 and NEMA outlets.

American wiring is center-tapped ~240V; typical 120V outlets are from line on either side of the tap to the neutral, while dryers, stoves, etc. are 240V line to line. So they would have wired it like a stove, but then put in a euro style plug instead of a stove plug
