Yup.  But be warned - one of our pigs (out of 5) was wired internally for 
120 only.  Inside the can are four copper bus ribbons.  They are the ends of 
two separate primary windings, and were connected in parallel for 120 volt 
operation.

We had to remove two ribbons, and rebolt to connect them in series to use 
the traditional 120-N-120 configuration Dr. Res refers to.

I just wanted to tell you guys that in case anyone else gets one of these 
"reconfigured" pigs! :)

This pig also had a MOV voltage limiter on the high side, which means that, 
with this one you can't do the olde x2 primary voltage trick, unless you 
pull the MOV...
