Some of the posts below really made me wonder what planet I'm on. +110VAC and -110VAC???? Huh?? I wired my house when I built it, wired my dock for 220 VAC without any problems and never saw a -110VAC. House wiring comes from the power pole with 2 each 110/120 VAC and a common and ground. When you wire a 220 circuit breaker, you take both leads side by side off one 110 feed.....ain't no + or -. BTW, don't miss the advantage of using 220 in long runs like to the dock.....it's called amperage. 220 cuts amperage in half for each hot wire which means you can reduce wire size and save a bunch of money. Respect electricity, don't be afraid of it.
