Most 220 volt equipment will work on 208 volt supply. If the machine has a resistive load then the watts output will be lower than if supplied from a 220 volt source. If it is a motor load you will find that the equipment may run a bit slower but most motors will take the lower voltage. If the machine is a plug in device, install the appropriate receptacle to match the pin configuration and plug it in. If it is a hard wire installation this should be done by a qualified person.

The kind of motor that runs on either 110v or 220v has two coils in it. If you wire them in parallel you can run the motor on 110v. Wiring them in series lets you run it on 220v. The motor will come with instructions on how to do it.
