its for a tyre changing machine... and im trying to source a motor that is the same but 60hz having some trouble...its not something that runs for a long period of time or runs fast in general... now it will just be going 20% faster unless i find another motor.. but 120v hot to hot??? and 120v...

so basically then... put one hot wire to the live power ... then put the other hot wire to the neutral on the uk plug??..

I'm not worried about the 10hz difference to be honest

i think my best bet is to just use a power converter to step up 120v to 240v to use with my UK Tools such as welder and tire changing machine.... then i can just run a US 240v wall socket to plug in and use whatever air compressor or other US 240v items i buy

well my biggest concern is i can get all new items stateside... BUT i have a corghi tire changer that needs 240V and uses a british plug .. ok if this makes it easier... how can i put an american 240v plug on the 3 wire british cord so i could plug it in to the same outlet as whatever 240v...

here is the UK plug the brown wire is 240v ... so could i use the 2 "live/hot" wires coming off the dual breaker such as the attached photo... combine them and attach to the brown wire screw like in the picture EXCUSE ME IF ITS A DUMB QUESTION>> AND WHAT WOULD ANYONE ELSE RECOMMEND

first off i would like to say im glad to be part of the forum! ive been a guest for a long time now but decided i needed to start taking part! this one might be a little confusing, atleast in my head it is. Ok so i am active duty military stationed in the UK right now i have quite a few UK...
