need electricians help - 11.11.2009, 02:31 PM

hey guys my dad bought a machine from china for his business and when i opened it up to get it going the place where an outlet plug should be was not there.. there are just 3 wires.. red, blue, green-white stripe
I stripped one of my 3 prong american outlets to solder it all together and call it good but i am not sure if it is a direct solder... the 3 colors on my outlet are green-white stripe, blue and brown

my question is... is it this easy? solder green to green blue to blue and red to brown? or do i need to throw a capacitor on there to lower the voltage? or a transistor to raise the voltage? should i have some type of external regulator for it?

i may be over analyzing this, but the machine is expensive and i dont want to mess anything up the first day i get it.

thanks guys!
