FAQ:
Q: Why does my tanning bed have a 220 volt outlet?
A: That’s a peculiarity about all of the tanning beds I have seen, they all have required 220 volts and have all had the same warning to not operate on voltages about 230 volts. I would attribute this to foreign design/engineering and manufacturing. Also, remember that 220 is a normal voltage in many countries, just not here in the USA.
Q: Will a tanning bed with a 230V plug void warranty?
A: void the warranty. Yikes, a tanning bed that needs 220V, and is void at 230V, but comes with a standard 240V plug. Yeah, that’s a recipe for trouble.
Q: What color wire for tanning bed on 20 amp breaker?
A: If this is cable not individual wires you can use it on a two pole 20 amp breaker for the tanning bed. The white wire of a cable by code will need to be recolored black, or red or any color but gray or green (or white). If it is wires not cable you will need conduit.

Q: What size transformer do I need for a 240V tanning bed?
A: A 12/24 buck boost transformer to drop the voltage in your house from 240 down to 216. The Manual is wrong, it uses a 240v NEMA plug. Basically, from the factory, it uses a 20 amp grounded 240 volt only plug. they used an old ungrounded electric range plug. and make sure you have the correct 240v grounded plug on the tanning bed.
