I recently had a guy ask me if I could run a dedicated 220v 20amp receptacle for an Espresso machine he bought in Europe. An electrician there told him that it would be no issue if a dedicated circuit was run and the plug on the appliance was changed out for a 20 amp plug to fit US receptacles. Another electrician here said he would not do it because of the difference in Hz. The appliance is rated for 50/60 HZ so that shouldn't be an issue. Does anyone know if this should be a problem? I would need to install it on a kitchen countertop. I am not sure what I would need to do for GFCI protection if it is a 220v plug. I am also concerned it may void the warranty and am currently waiting to here back from the manufacturer. Any ideas or concerns would be helpful.
