We have a large copier that is plugged into a 220V outlet. Our new copier is a 120V. Is there such a thing as a step down voltage converter 220V to 110V that can be made or bought that would allow the copier to be plugged in? I was told that some type of converter could be built or made.
High wattage Voltage Converters are more appropriate for appliances with a simple resistive heating element and no electronic controls. However, some manufacturers of Flat Irons recommend against using ANY Voltage Converters with their products. If a Voltage Converter MUST be used, a better option is this model from Magellan. This will automatically select the proper conversion method, so the user doesn't have to worry
Electrical voltage in the USA is 110 volts whereas the voltage in most foreign countries is 220 volts to 240 volts. A step down voltage converter is necessary to convert the 220 volt electricity coming out of your wall to match the 110 volts of our lights. This international voltage converter makes it easy to convert 220v to 110v. You will need to buy the one with the best wattage option to fit your needs.
A "220V to 110V voltage converter" is an electronic device designed to reduce 220 volts to 110 volts. It does this by cutting off half of the peak-to-peak sine wave. Very simple. Thus, the electricity varies from zero to max volts and back to zero. It does not go to negative volts. It stays at zero volts for half of the sine wave. Therefore, what comes out of a converter is on-off power, at a frequency of 50 Hz.
