Clean Storm Reverse6-20R Power Joiner Step-Up Inverter

The Clean Storm Reverse6-20R allows many 220-240 volt single-phase machines drawing up to 20 amps at 230 volts to operate from two separate 115/120 volt wall outlets. This is commonly used when a dedicated 240 volt outlet is not available.

• Converts two separate 115/120V outlets into 230/240V single-phase output
• Output receptacle: NEMA 6-15R / 6-20R style 240V connection
• Maximum output: up to 20 amps at 230 volts / approximately 4600 watts
• No electrician required when proper outlet conditions are available
• Built-in test light helps confirm when the two outlets provide usable 230/240V power

Common Applications

This device is used for many 220-240 volt single-phase tools, chargers, and machines, including: portable air conditioners, window air conditioners, EV chargers, air compressors, concrete testing equipment, vending machines, pressure washers, vapor steam machines, table saws, dust collectors, concrete grinders, HEPA vacuums, jointers, planers, cabinet saws, bandsaws, drill presses, wood lathes, espresso machines, shapers, CNC routers, milling machines, space heaters, and floor sanders.

EV Vehicle Charging Notes

This unit is commonly used with portable Level 2 EV chargers that use a NEMA 6-20 style plug and draw 16 amps or less. It may work with many plug-in hybrids and electric vehicles when used with a compatible portable charger, including vehicles from Audi, BMW, Chevrolet, Chrysler, Cadillac, Honda, Mitsubishi, Fiat, Ford, Kia, Mercedes-Benz, Porsche, Tesla, Toyota, Mini, Nissan, Volkswagen, Hyundai, Subaru, Volvo, and others.

How To Use

1. Plug each 120V input cord into a different standard 120V wall outlet.
2. Press the momentary voltage test button.
3. If the green light turns on, the outlet combination is producing usable 230/240V power.
4. If the light does not turn on, move one cord to a different outlet and test again.
5. After confirming proper voltage, connect the compatible 240V machine or charger.

Important Safety and Sizing Notes

• The connected equipment must be 220-240V single phase.
• The connected equipment should draw less than 20 amps at 230V.
• If using 15 amp 120V source outlets, the 240V load must also be limited accordingly.
• Not for use with GFCI or LCDI 115V outlets.
• Not for outdoor rain exposure or wet locations.
• Always confirm plug style, voltage, amperage, and machine requirements before ordering.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this create 240 volts from any two outlets?
No. The two 120V outlets must be on opposite electrical legs. Use the built-in test button before each use or whenever moving the unit to a new location.

Can this run a 240V machine over 20 amps?
No. This Reverse6-20R model is intended for compatible equipment drawing up to 20 amps at 230V. For larger machines, use the correct dedicated circuit or a different power solution.

Can this be used for EV charging?
Yes, when used with a compatible portable Level 2 EV charger that has the correct plug and amp draw. Most 16 amp NEMA 6-20 style EV chargers are the intended type of application.

Will this work on GFCI outlets?
No. This product is not recommended for GFCI or LCDI 115V outlets.

Can I use this with concrete grinders, compressors, and shop equipment?
Yes, when the machine is 220-240V single phase, has a compatible plug, and draws within the rated amp limit.

Confirmed Compatible Equipment and Applications

The following equipment has been listed as compatible with the Clean Storm Reverse6-20R when the machine is 220-240 volt single phase and draws within the rated amp limit. Always verify the machine plug, voltage, amperage, and circuit requirements before use.

To use simply plug into different standard 120 volt wall outlets and push the momentary button to test voltage.  If the bright green light turns on, you are good to go.  Not all outlet combinations will produce the correct voltage so you have to test before each use or each time you take your box to a new location.  If you push the voltage test button and the green light does not turn on, simply re-located one of the power cords to a different location and retest.  Every job site location has the ability to provide 230-240 volts.  If you use 15 amp 115 v to 120 volt circuits then you will only be able to operate 15 amp 230 volt equipment.  If your pressure washer needs 23 amps @ 230 volts and you are plugged into 20 amp 115 volt outlets, you will need to turn the pressure down to lower the amp draw.  Just turn the pressure regulator / unloader knob counter clockwise.  The less pressure, the less horse power is needed to turn the electric motor and this will lower the amp draw.  When charging your electric car, simply set the car to charge at 16 amps at 240 volts on the dashboard or on the charging cable if required (some cars auto sense and auto change the speed.)

Answer:  This is incorrect step / understanding.

In order to have the power supply box work, it must be plugged into different phases.

There are two phases of power in every home.

Half of all the outlets are on left phase, and the other half is on right phase.

You must land on one of each phase in order for the power supply to work.

This means if I just randomly select two outlets in a home, I could be plugged into:  two left side phases, 2 right side phases, or 1 of left + 1 right (correct use of power supply, depress phase locator button on the power supply box and will illuminate bright green on the phase locator light if you plugged in correctly.)

If you look at the breaker panel (photo to the right) and notice the column of breakers on the left side and then a column on the ride side.

The way a breaker box is wired is the top left breaker is left phase, the 2^nd from the top left strait down the left column is right phase, 3^rd down is left column is left phase, 4^th down is right phase.  These breakers alternate phase location all the way down each column.

The top right column of breakers works exactly the same way.  You have to land on one left phase and and one right phase to make this item work.  It is OK to have landed on a pair of outlets that is left and right side and each is positioned anywhere in the breaker panel.

Since this power supply box will not work with GFCI or LCI outlets you can also replace a GFCI outlet with a standard wall receptacle.  

Optionally, if the two breakers you want to use are on the same phase, simply change the location of one of the two breakers to be in a different position in the column.   This is very easy to do and only takes a screw driver (see video link below.)  Go outside and turn off the breaker and turn off the breaker that is labeled as ‘main.’  Go back to the garage and take off the garage panel cover.  Grab the breaker you want to relocate and simply switch positions with another breaker either one up or one down in the column.   You can change the location of the breaker or change the location of the wire in the breaker (your choice.)  This will put the breaker on a different phase.  Again, see video below on how to do this.
