Yeah, the half voltage thing doesn't fly.. Since the 240 supplies in some other nations
aren't two 120 supplies stacked up. Just 240 and that's it.
I did hear of one electrician mistake on a US install, gave it 120 and it kinda worked.
It cooled, but would not heat.. IIRC

I am low on space in my breaker panel. I'm using those small 20A double breakers, one above the other.
But I've lost the little steel pin that connects them in tandem.
I think it fell out and went into the sump pump hole.. Have to make a new one.
