JohnDT Posted April 23, 2021 Report Share Posted April 23, 2021 Help! I recently purchased a Brent Model B wheel off eBay that is wired for 220v for the UK. I naively thought I could just buy a transformer and voila! I tried that and now it wants to electrocute me. Does anyone know how to convert it to 110v? The motor seems to be the same for US and UK which would suggest it’s possible but I am not sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark C. Posted April 23, 2021 Report Share Posted April 23, 2021 I would first Call Amaco/Brent technical ask them-the controller and motor are wired for 220 and you wnat to know how to convert it to 110v Other thoughts are most homes have 220 you could wire an outlet just for this wheel you could buy an quality step up transformer 110-220v The best option is call Brent and ask how to make it run on 110V Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neilestrick Posted April 23, 2021 Report Share Posted April 23, 2021 Yes, call Brent. It may be possible to rewire the motor, maybe not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liambesaw Posted April 23, 2021 Report Share Posted April 23, 2021 Depending on how old it is, it could just be a jumper on the controller. Worst case scenario you'll need to buy a new cord, and controller which is extremely pricy if you get it from brent. If you're comfortable with electronics you can just hack a new kb electronics controller into it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
