I think getting 110V out of the Power Pro 220 plug you only get half the available current. I opened my Power Pro up last night to see about re-wiring for the full amperage (connecting fields in parallel vs. series.) I was surprised how small the wires inside were, esp when the manual specifies wire size vs. length for cords

insulation 'enameling lacquer ' not rubber will stand a lot more heat,
also be sure you are looking at the output 'sator' winding connections going to the 220 plug
the 'feild' windings will be comming from the voltage regulator control board and carry less current and lower voltage typically 5-8 amps at 24-28 volts
also these connecting lengths are measured in 'inches' not 'feet' so there is next to ZEZRO voltage drop even under high current loads, that would not be possible if using the same gauge in the walls or as extension cords
