You can use this adapter
https://www.amazon.com/Wadoy-Adapter-Locking-Electrical-Generator/dp/B0719S2FCV/ref=asc_df_B0719S2FCV/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=242041198988&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=11297272888369245175&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9026816&hvtargid=pla-421240570976&th=1
But the device must not draw more than 30A which it shouldn't because it's rated at 3000W.
james_s:
Yes it's possible, just install the correct plug on it. I wouldn't bother with adapters.
administr4tor:
how will it work? the AC in those NEMA are two single phase 120v right? and the AC the device would work on single 230v AC.
Please remove this confusion.
this machine can work in 120v in USA but with converter adapter but it wont be then 3000watts then, it will be only 1400watts or so.
IanB:
What you would do is wire the "L" and "N" conductors from the steamer to the "H1" and "H2" pins in the North America (NEMA) plug. You would connect the Earth conductor from the steamer to the Ground pin on the NEMA plug. You can ignore the neutral pin on the plug (if it has one).
For safety, you should also check that the "L" and "N" conductors on the steamer are properly isolated from any exposed parts. You should also check that any exposed metal parts are connected to the earth or ground conductor.
