AN OVERVIEW OF TRANSFORMER CONVERTER 220V TO 110V
If you are in the market for a transformer then you will probably come across the terms ‘step up’ and ‘step down.’ Basically, a transformer can either bring the voltage ‘up’ or ‘down’ depending on requirements. If you want to power up a machine that runs on 110 V in an environment with an electrical supply of 220 volts, you will need a ‘step down’ transformer to make it work. Since the machine requires 110 volts by design, you have to supply it with the same voltage input—thus, your transformer needs to bring the 220 V supplied by the mains down to 110 V. What would happen if you plug a 110 volt device directly into a 220 volt electrical plug? If it is a heating device, then the amount of heat will be multiplied, which in turn damages the device (often irreparably). If it is run by an AC drive, then it will burn the item readily. If it is a DC drive, then the unit will spin twice as fast and will affect the quality of the components quickly. To protect your mac...
