I suggest using an isolating transforma giving a max voltage of 110V.

It says 175VAC in your advert.

My knowlege of transformers is slight, but I do seem to remember they are wonderfully isolating, so it should be possible to wire several transformers in series so long as the windings can handle the extra current. (unless you can find a supplier for 175VAC kit).

Also, Amps :nope: 7.8 Amps at 175VAC is 1.3kW. Obviously you don't need transformers rated for that, the motor would melt. So how many VA do you actually need from the transformer to drive this beasty?
