    How to wire 40 amp american appliances(dishwasher and stove) to European 220V
    I suppose that I will need a step-down 220/110V transformer. I bought a 8000Wt one with 3 110V outlets. Does it mean that I have to connect 4 wires of an appliance to 1 positive, 1 positive, 1 neutral and 1 ground wire?
    What color is neutral? Black?

    Please restate your question, more clearly and more detail.

    40 Amp appliances both dryer and dishwasher?

    You bought one 8000 wt what?

    A USA electric range would need 120/240.

    Is the 8000 wt thing your 220 volt to 120/240 volt transformer?
