POWER CONVERTER 110 TO 220 PORTABLE

In a typical US Home environment, 220V uses 2 Lines (Hot) and a Ground vs a typical 110V connection where you have a Line, Common, and Ground. However Commercial / Industrial applications often have a transformer (or several transformers) that 'step up' the voltage on a single phase. Note: This is regarding *Single Phase* 220/240V, NOT 220V you would get in most home environments in the US. Older and cheaper equipment (mostly power supplies) may have a 'switch' that you simply take a small flathead screwdriver and move it from 110 to 220, while newer equipment is often auto-sensing. A travel power adapter or European converter adapter fits the plug into the wall. Computers, Switching Power Supplies, Radios, etc) have a very wide usable voltage range generally something like 80-260VAC 50/60hz. Dual voltage electronics have two options: 110-120V and 220-240V. You can simply buy a 110v to 220v converter to make the appliance works smoothly. In some countries, you can get severely punished if anything goes wrong because you tried this. In all cases, you are probably contravening local regulations, because in most countries, the electrical sockets are designed to accept only certain plugs, in order that you do not mismatch appliance voltage and outlet voltage. Determining the wattage/load is usually performed by the design engineer to meet the performance specs set by the electrical engineer. It is current that is your enemy, a piece wire that is warm at 110V (120v) will turn into a fuse at 220V (230v, 240v), all other things being equal. Multi-functionThe Voltage Converter Transformer can be used with any kind of appliance or device up to 3400 watts. The insulation is usually not a problem unless there is a major flaw in the design. Voltage transformer (220V/240 to 110V/120, 110V/120 to 220V/240)We provide you a safe, dependable, stable, cost-effective & easy solution to converting voltages from 110 volts up to 220 volts or from 220 volts down to 110 volts.

If you plug a 220V device into 110V outlet, it will normally last a little longer before it dies.Īn AC mechanical drive may fail to start, or it may take up more current than it is designed for, and eventually burn out. Item Step Up/Step Down Voltage Converter Converts 110 to 220V AC, 220 to 110V AC VA Rating 500VA Hz 50/60 Phase Single Mounting Portable Enclosure Material Black Vented Metal Height 5.5 in Depth 4.75 in Width 4. These convert voltage between 110 volts and 220 volts and vice versa. If it is a universal drive, (or DC), it may spin up to twice its intended speed, and wear out quickly. 110v to 220v and 220 volts to 110 volts step up and step down voltage converters are meant to be used with light portable equipment such as phones, laptops, iPad, iPods, cameras, hair dryers, etc.

If it is some AC drive, it most likely will burn out very quickly. If it is some kind of heating device, (toaster, incandescent light, lamp, bulb, space heater) it will develop close to four times the designed heat, and probably burn out in minutes, or seconds. If you plug an 110V appliance in 220V outlet (same as 120v to 230v, 240v) you can only hope that some protection device disconnects the power to the appliance. The mathematical reference is Ohm's Law and the Power Triangle. It depends upon the nature of the appliance but generally speaking if the voltage is too high it draws too much current and burns out, if the voltage is too low it draws too little current and/or does not perform to its rating.
