Is this espresso machine 220v or 400v?

Ok i got a great deal on a three group Dalla Corte Evolution...independent brew boilers, independent grouphead temp through serial connection to usb, temp stable,....couldn't pass it up. They guy said you could hook it up to a stove 220v if i needed to for testing in my place before i move it to its permanent home, but when i look at the info under the drain it says "volt 400 3n" im guessing that means its 400v 3 phase, which i dont have..but the guy said it would work on 220, so i took the "brain" box lid off and took pics of parts to post here...has the machine been re-wired for 220v?

From the looks of it, it can be either depending upon the terminals used. BUT, this, to me, looks like a "wait till Monday" adventure and contact Dawson here: http://www.coag.ca/ . Depending upon the ultimate destination of this machine, you will want to obtain all the manuals you can get your paws on, not the least of which would be an install manual.

I would just guess that Dawson & wife are at Host Milan at this time but ya never can tell.
Skål,

Thanks for the reply Eric,
I went in and talked to Dawson after first seeing the machine to see if it was a good deal. He said if I didn't buy it he would. Also said he would help with repairs and parts. Such a friendly helpful guy, I would recommend him to anyone looking for commercial equipment.

I emailed him, but he's a busy guy and don't want to pester him too much, so I thought I'd ask here.

Seller said group one wasn't working but they didn't really test or trouble shoot it. I took it apart and cleaned it all looks ok so I wanted to power it up and test this weekend since it's the only time I have to work on it. Looks like I'll have to wait a bit.
