Looking for Electrical Engineer/Electrician

Hi All,


My husband and I are looking for someone who can help us with an electrical problem. We have just renovated our flat and our contractor said we could bring an oven and clothes dryer over from North America and he would have no problem hooking them up to use here. Well - problem - and now he has just told us he can't do it and we are sitting with two applicances that don't work.


We need advice about what we can do to get these two applicances hooked up and working. If anyone has brought these appliances over from NA to HK and hooked them up PLEASE IM me or post a response. I was hoping an Eletrical Engineer might be able to tell us how to convert the power.


Please, please, please help!


Thanks,

Canucker

FYI,

Most ovens and dryers in Canada are in fact 220VAC. They have special plugs requiring special outlets.


Canucker,

Don't go out and buy any (huge and fairly expensive) power converters. Do contact an electrician.


The frequency will be different, 50hz instead of 60Hz. As mentioned earlier, it may or may not matter, and may only matter in the long-term lifespan of the appliance.


I had North American appliances in Manila but they were use 220V 60hz. I believe my first house in HK had North American appliances running on 220VAC 50 Hz, but not absolutely sure they were from Canada.
