Can you step up 208 volt to 380-440 volts is it cheaper to have the washer converted or use a step up transformer?

You didn't mention whether the voltages are single phase or three phase or whether it is a commercial machine or one used in the home. I am assuming that you are asking about a single phase washer. That being said yes, 208 volts can be stepped up to 440 volts. To have the washer converted would mean finding a 440 single phase motor with the identical frame type that would fit the same configuration that the 208 volt single phase motor now resides in. The control voltage for the internal controls would also have to be changed out to the new voltage. The transformer would cost as much as a new machine so that is out of the question. You might want to price out a new 440 volt machine, sell the old 208 machine and the money that you get for the old machine, apply it to the cost of the new machine.

What would cause the sink to 'cough' when the washer is running?
IF your toilet sink and washer are on the same waste line, which they probably are, the problem is't a short trap. Actually since your washer, toilet and sink have different traps it shoudn't effect anything. The problem probably comes from the washer being what is called a "sudds producing fixture". The sudds produced by your washer can actually go up either your toilet or sink waste line. By code the waste for your washer should be tied in to the sewer main 6' from where your waste line goes up for your bathroom. The only solution is to redo the piping from the sewer main and move your waste line for the washer. it won't harm anything. The worst thing that could happen is you'll get suds out of the drain in the sink
