Am moving to Singapore shortly and have a whole lot of brand new electronic items collection that I hate to leave behind. All this stuff works on 100V 50/60 Hz and ranges between 200-600 Watts.
How easy/safe is it to use step-down converters?
For running 110V devices on 220V, it's possible to use step-down converters, which are a lot less bulky than "real" transformers -- but they're meant for occasionally used beefy machines that don't care about exact voltage (hair dryer, toaster, even power drill if you've got enough wattage), not continually used electronics with low tolerances (TV, hifi, etc).Strong Eagle wrote:It's a seriously major pain in the ass. Transformers are heavy. They are ugly. They consume extra energy. They get hot.
