120/208 volt system that requires a 240 volt circuit to a stack washer and dryer. there was a prevoiusly installed boost/buck of the proper size in the ceiling area that had been used for a tanning bed. I used the abandoned boost buck to bring the voltage up to 240 for the stack washer dryer unit which is 120/240. appliance guys say they are getting 120 volts on one leg and 150 on the other? I guess I have never taken that reading before so I dont know what I would get . It seems to me it would be 120 on both legs no? they get 240 acroos the legs. what the heck am I missing here? they say that the 150 volts is causing the washer to run hot. I am remote from this at the moment but they are going to swap the red/black and see if it makes a difference as they say the dryer wont care.
