So do you guys really not like running oven's this large at 240V? Or do you just not like the two ovens specifically that I mentioned?

FYI, in my experience, programming and fine tuning select solder is usually quick and painless.

Oh no, it's rated at a max of 120A at 208V. We have the power for that. At least the Vitronics is, not sure on the Heller.

We have 3 Heller 1800 units. They run great. Our building is 208 3ph. One of ours is running 480v, so we bought a transformer to convert. I am not familiar with the other oven you mentioned.

Hey all, I've made a post in the past about us expanding to a new space, but I wanted to do a new post with specific questions. We currently have a DEK 265, Phillips Opal Xii, and a Heller 1500. Our main reason for expanding is to have a lead-free

You might be able to get a step up transformer although I would not recommend that unless it is a good solution for you. What is the input voltage to your facility? It is probably 600V (or something close). If so then you could get a step down transf
