TRANSFORMER PURCHASE GUIDE
How do I know if I need a Step UP or a Step Down Voltage Converter or a Transformer?
When you travel from a 110 volt country with your 110 volt devices to a 220 volt country(like Europe, Africa Asia etc), You will need
a Step DownTransformer or a Converter.
And if you travel from a 220 volt country(Europe/Asia) to a 110 volt country like USA, you will need a Step UP Transformeror a
Converter.
Also, there are Step UP/Down Transformers and converters available that work both as Step Up and Step Down. You will find a wide variety of
Step Up/down Transformers and converters on our website ranging from 50 Watt to 20,000 Watts. These transformers enable the use of your
electric devices anywhere in the world.
Remember to leave at least a 100% margin for power surges/spike when buying a transformer. Some items, such as Televisions, computer
monitors spike when you turn them on. For these products you need to buy a voltage converter transformer that is at least 3 times the items
capacity. Power tools, laser printers and heating appliances like coffee makers, toasters, microwaves, lasers, Halogen, Fluorescent bulbs you must
leave a margin of 4 times. It doesn't hurt to buy a transformer that is rated much higher than listed watts on your device.
Voltage transformers are made to convert single phase 110 or 220 volt. American 220 Volt consists of 2 phase of 110 Volt and European 220
Volt consists of 1 phase of 220 volt.
Volts x Amps = Watts (i.e. 110V x 0.5 AMPS = 55W). Please make sure not to run any appliance with higher wattage then voltage transformer's
wattage. This might damage both: your appliance and the transformer!
