When we first arrived, we could not adapt our 220 volt power for US equipment to the French system. Despite it’s being identical in Volts and Hertz, they use THREE wires, we use FOUR wires.
To get the “blessed” air conditioning to work, we needed to do some rewiring and fortunately found the right guy to do it. This new switch should get us through all the 220 volt (50 or 60 cycle) electrical systems from here west. BTW, they’re all that way out here. It’s the literal middle of Summer here now and think Palm Springs in August!!!!!
