I will try to explain better if I can.
In the U.S., 220 volts is created at a 220 recepticle by taking a 110 wire and hooking it up to one terminal in a 220 volt rated recepticle. Then you take another 110 wire and hook it up to the other terminal in the receptical, and it make 220.
But if your appliance pulls 220 through just one wire, at 60 hertz, and exits to ground after passing through your appliance, the current flow would be one direction and I wouo dhave to think that the windings of YOUR 220 volt motor would be different...because...with the 220 we use here, the current flow is both coming AND going, to create the 220.
And is it 220 ac over there, as opposed to say 220 dc? That is even another matter.
I think I am going to Google something like "220 volt European appliances" once and see if I can find something.
