Question:
I need a power converter that takes 100v 50/60Hz input and converts to US 120V 60Hz as well as obviously accommodating for the change in plug types. Does anyone have experience with these to know stores or online outlets carry them? The keywords I've used looking for them mostly just turn up universal adapters and no converters.
Answer:
Try your search on Yahoo Shopping or Amazon. You will find great deals. And some are really cheap. You will find great deals on Small Travel converter. Travel voltage converter are not for continous use. First calculate the required wattage your appliance needs and select the right converter according to that. If your appliance produce more heat try to get Voltage Transformer. Transfomers are available from 100watt - 5000watt. Remember this things: Travel Voltage Converters are only for use with ungrounded (2-pin) electric heating appliances or those that use a "universal" motor (Cordless Phones, Battery charger,curling irons, hairdryers, irons, etc.). Most converters are not designed for continuous use and should only be used for short periods of time, 45- 60 minutes. They should be unplugged when not in use.
