I've been running my AC off an adapter through the 110/220 outlet on my 3500 PowerPro without problems. Are you saying that the standard 110 outlet only gets power from one coil while the 110/220 gets power from both? Why can't I run the AC on the regular 110 outlet without rewiring? Is it only getting half the amps? I've read almost this whole discussion and I am still not really clear how these things are wired inside. I'm not going to rewire it inside as the adapter works fine. I am just curious why it won't work and I haven't found the answer in this discussion. For now the adapter is o.k.
Pulling your load through just one-half of the twistlock is better than pulling it all through the standard outlet, because the twistlock is rated for more power. The twistlock has a larger contact area which means less heat build-up than the standard. I just use the twistlock for better peace-of-mind and to minimize the problem of the plug vibrating out of the socket.
