Assuming you want MODULES that run on 220V, there are 2 versions listed
in the back of one of my mini-controller books: (quoted without
permission)
"Heavy Duty 220V 15A Appliance Module HD243
  Used to control a 220V air conditioner or water heater etc.  Rated at
  15A Unrestricted, i.e. it can control anything which can be plugged
  into a regular 220V 15A outlet.  Works on 110/220V (120/240V) split
  phase systems only.  Will not work on 3 phase systems.
Heavy Duty 220V 20A Appliance Module HD245
  Same features as the HD243 but can be used for any appliance which
  normally plugs into a 220V 15A or 20A outlet.  Works on 110/220V
  (120/240V) split phase systems only.  Will not work on 3 phase
  systems."

The following information was extracted from the file
PD2:<MISC.X-10>ARTICLES.X10 on SIMTEL20 written by Dennis Griesser with
followup notes by Pete Fales.  There is quite a bit more but I only 
quote the article which includes circuit diagrams.

o "Plug-in Remote Control System"
  by Steve Ciarcia
  Radio Electronics, September 1980, page 47
  Notes:  Better details on the inside of the X-10 system, including schematics
	of the base station, lamp module, and appliance module.  No buildable
	project, just lotsa nice info.
-------
Now I have 2 questions of my own:
 1) Could somebody (re)post methods of bridging the X-10 controller
    signals from one phase of house wiring to the other?
 2) Does anyone have a GE HomeMinder box they want to sell?  I just
    found one for my father but would like one for myself as well.
    If you have one to get rid of please email me.
