Hi there! I need to use my 220v playstation in the US. The wattage is 35watts. Will this work?
Yes.
This unit is probably overkill for a Playstation at 35watts. Yes, it will work but they sell smaller ones on Amazon and eBay. You can buy a 50watt step-up transformer for $10-$15. Or there are 100watt around $20. They are smaller and would be more energy efficient for your use.
@@jimalavera-woodhams8130 thanks
how's the the transformer working? I am thinking of buying one.
I got this to use it for my Tesla coil. The transformer uses 200W and the Tesla coil uses 150w. The Tesla coil uses 220v and I plug it into the 220v with the switch on 110v because I’m using 110v to convert it. Now the issue is everytime I plug it into my transformer it blows the fuse everytime I try turning the Tesla coil on. Any suggestions? I cant get the tesla coil to work because of the transformer
Can this transformer work a 220 voltage washer and dryer combination since my home is 110
Sorry no, this device only converts 500 watts, it would nee to be much bigger. In the USA, all homes have 220, yo may just need an outlet added. Call an electrician, they shoud be able to give a free quote. Good luck with your project.
Cool we can test out the ps2 pal console.
@Don brandt Greetings friend ina asks what is the difference from the AC.100W to the one you have that is AC.500w? I am dealing with a yamaha yc-45 that they sent from germany with a 220volt plug but here in the united states it is less buy one of it # 100 by mistake but I still don't have it in my hands I don't know if that could damage the organ graviaa I wait for a response
I am afraid the physics rules are still valid and you bought a piece of electrotechnic scrap.The (auto)transformer inside is unable to survive 500W load for longer than few minutes. Not counting the covers made of tin can sheet metal... Capable just for a micro lathe and the lightest turning. What are the provided fuses amperage?
5 Amp fuse at 110, would that equal 10 amps at 220? Speed controller is rated a 2.6 amps. Will be testing soon, have the motor mounted, need a drive belt now.
Wrong, current is not equal 10Amp. 5A x 110V = 550W. For double voltage and same power you need just a half current: I= P/U, 500W/220V = 2.27A I see your issue in very small transformer, though "certification" insufficient for continuous load. Transformers could be overloaded short time by cca 200%, till overheating and burn. Industrial grade 500W transformer should weight approx. 8 kilograms ( minimum 23,5 square centimeters transformer core)
my ev needs 220 to charge but my home outlets are 110
Will this help because I am tired of always going to my sister her house to charge up
Most the VFD"s have a square wave not a sine wave,so the power on a square wave is less than a sine wave and same equipment don"t like square waves they like sine waves,but the best way is a sine wave inverter not a VFD but you just waste you time on youtube explain people those things because 99.9999999999999% are not electrician"s ,they don"t know what volts,amps, ohms watts, sine,square wave,frequency, H.P, RPM, P.F ,E.F ,etc,etc,etc,WASTE TIME with all those punk kids today ,,,,,end of the story!, only thing they know is operating a cell phone ,,,BAD ,VERY BAD,,welcome to the new generation.
Aggreed, its difficult in this entitled world for the younger generation to figure these things out. The problem for all of these types is that the tech around them will ultimately be thier enslavement.
Thank you very much for this, it will help with one of my great buys...
I have this exact trasformer but will not power a 240v HP printer. The Printers manual says... (220-volt input voltage: 220 to 240 VAC
(+/- 10%), 50 Hz (+/- 3 Hz), 60 Hz (+/- 3 Hz); Power consumption: 381 watts (active printing). I thought by buying this 500w tranformer would be enough but the printer still will not power on. Any Ideas??
Can you charge an EV with this setup?
No way. This is only a 500 watt transformer.
I watched your video and enjoyed it a lot. You sound like you know what you’re doing. With that in mind I have a question. I have an old 1940 drill press that I want to put a 1/2 hp 3 phase motor on. I bought a Transformer to step up the 110 from my garage plug in to 220. Here’s the question: is that all I need? All I have to do is plug the transformer in the wall and the 3 phase motor into the transformer. I also bought a VFD to regulate the rpm’s.
Any advice will greatly be appreciated…..
You should have sent that back . that looks like it's been dropped And I read from the transformer I just purchased that they said if it has any damage don't use it.
Im confused about your setup.....Why did your Speed Control unit have a North American plug of (110v) when it has 220 volt required output?...
This video was very helpful. Glad to know it it works. I only wonder will it be stable after many hours of use??
if i want to use a 220v 6Amp 1320w pressure washer, would be a 2000w trasnformer enough? It will max run in 10 minure periods, not long extended runs.
Great! thanks for the video. I wonder if it`s ok to plug an extension cord with multiple outlets to plug in more than 1 device?
Can it charge tesla
Hello sir please can you help me choice a good transformer converter for a USA specific air dryer i need to import it to Italy for my business, kindly let me know if we can collaborate. Best regards Andrea
So I am in Europe right now do use the hair dryer it’s 110 from United States what I should connect to the back of the machine the plug in the back which one do I need to choose 110 or 220 to plug in the front
Please can I get 160v to produce 230 v for me.
I'm from Nigeria West Africa
Super confused by the input voltage. Is that the voltage in your wall (aka 110 for US) or is it the one you are converting from?
It's will do both.... Whatever you want....
European and Middle East plug. Also, appears to be the universal Chinese style socket on the unit so you shouldn't have needed any adapter
I would most definitely get a decent cooling fan if it’s gonna run for extended periods IMO you’ll get much more life out of it
Step up and step down are same. But wattage is important. Waste video. Size & weight depends on wattage.
What amp fuse does it use? I bought a 750w model in a discount store for 8 bucks (amazon returns)
Fuse was missing
7 ampere
Out of curiosity will this charge my tesla faster then ??
Can you run a 220 welder from this with adapter?
I bought this same transformer to convert 120 to 240 and couldn’t figure out why the thing wouldn’t work, even called my electrician buddy and all. Come to find out after watching your video you have to use that small adapter to actually get the 240 volt or else you only get one leg of 240. Anyways thanks for the video you saved me some time and headache.
Hi Bobby, im glad my video helped you out.. Would you want to share what you were powering up? thx
How can this 220v 500w .5a run the lathe under load?
INPUT?
It won't if it is anything bigger than a 1/2 HP motor. Which I would never use on any size lathe bigger than a 6" one. The 12" downstairs has a 1HP 240V motor on it and at times have thought that a 1.5 HP 3 phase would be nice so that I could get speeds between what the belts and gears offer.
Can I have that 220 converter Part number please
Brother Awesome review! Question do you think I could use this on an 5000 watt inverter to run a hot water heater? Best Regards!
Is this something I can use in a camper to hook up an air conditioner without catching the camper on fire
jeffmurnahan an air condition is going to use a lot more than 500 W so I think you will burn your camper down.
I wonder if you can charge a Tesla with this? Any ideas?
Hi Don, I have a 240v source of energy with three wires that I want to step down to 120v. The black wire is hot, white neutral is hot, and a ground. I want to wire it to a receptacle that plugs with the input cord of this transformer. Can I maintain the same black hot wire, neutral hot, and green ground or do I have to change it? Thanks!!!
Just one question, had you been drinking prior to making this fine video? Not judging....
how do i get the 2000watt, 220v - 110v shipped to uganda
Maybe you can answer this for me. I have a 220v servo motor. Need to plug it into 110v outlet. Would this work?
yes, He says the reason his`s got the transformer was to run his 220v Speed Controller. I think your 220v Servo will work
How'bout a garage space heater that works on 240? Would it do that? I think the amperes are important to look at also.
What ampere for this transpormer
Living with 120 volts sucks ._.
If you have a dryer that's 220 can you plug it just directly into the box or how would you do that please help me
...
I have the same question?
No, a dryer requires 1800 to 5000 watts, this is only 500 watts
If I have and american tool that is 1800w (15amp) i'm ok with a 2000W converter? Or i have to go with the 3000w ?
I bought a 5000W converter tp run a welder and now i wish i got the 10000W to run a kiln . You cant go wrong if you go bigger but just make sure you wont need later if you settle for less wattage
wow they really beat it up before they sent it out
කියද මිල
500 watts for a motor is too little maybe no load.
Will this run a stove?
Depends on the stove watt , but i think not coz this is only 500w
Absolutely not, even the small 1-2 elements countertop stoves has a power rating of 1.5Kw and up (2 elements, small and big - 1Kw+1.5Kw, total of 2.5Kw)
hi a very good day to can a 220 welding machine works with the stepup step down transformer fp235
This unit is only 500 watts. Most welders require much higher wattage.
I want this transformer
Hey Don, thanks for the posting as I bought the exact the same thing from Amazon and there is no instruction. I’m just a housewife, this thing is way beyond me. Just one question, on the back , there are two options like 110,220, shall I put the switch at 110 or 220? I’m in Canada and need to use a lamp needs 220V (made in China). Looking forward to your further help.
the sector is input power. in Canada the standard is 110/. Make sure the input is on 110. -Cheers
what s the fuze button for?
Hi Don, I'm moving my music studio from the US to Europe and have about 7 lightweight devices (all 110v) on one multi strip. My question is, if I get the 110 to 220 box like the one you demo'd here, can I just plug the whole darn multi strip (with all 7 devices plugged in) into the converter box or do I need 7 converter boxes?
Most likely, you would need to add the wattage from each device and not exceed the rated capacity. Congratulations on the move, very exciting!
Do you think this could run a hot tub?
I’m thinking of using this for a electric curing oven the pulls 220v the ove would run for about 2-3hr would this transform be convenient?
I’m curious about this too. What did you do? Did you get this one? If so, how is it working for you? If not, which one did you get? And how is that other working out for you?
Please elaborate on what curing oven? For like digital printing (films)? An autoclave? The short answer is that it most likely cannot. You'll need to ask or look at the label on the oven for the required watts.
How to get 210volt to 240volt converter
Thanks...i bought a 3000w version to run my 220v cnc router.
How’s it been working for you? I’ve been thinking about doing the same thing.
I appreciate it
Whats the maximum amp for 110 outlet 15 amp? 20 amp?
110v @500w about 4 amp
thank you, I'm setting up music equipment brought in from overseas so this is great
I'm in the same boat and looking for something to power my Yamaha HS5 speakers I got in the UK. Can you tell me if you've got this and did the frequency difference have an effect?
Souma I didn’t end up getting it. I got the one by ACUPWR since it was the only one I could find online *not* made in China. Can’t take any risks with music equipment ya know.

watts is a measure volts times amps. to figure out Volts x Amps = Watts. Example: 243 V x 0.421 A = 102.3 VA. good luck
From AC 100W to AC 500W? the 500 watt transformer is 400 watts more than what you have. Look at the label on the back (or bottom) of your Yamaha YC-45, it should tell you the needed volts and watts. I did a Google search and your Yamaha YC-45 looks to be 30 watts. Your 100 watt step up transformer should work. Your Yamaha YC-45 might be broken, blown fuse, etc. Make sure the outlet you are plugging into works, the device is on, etc.
Can you plug in a dryer in the 220v to a 110v outlet?
A clothes dryer for laundry? Definitely not. While it is the proper voltage, this is only 500 watts. Look at the manufacture label on the back of your dryer and see what it says for watts. Dryers are usually 1800 to 5000 watts.
No instructions how are people supposed to know how to use this
He just explained it.. on this video... that you commented on.... that you found... on the interwebs...
I have a Japan Model, Technics 1200mk5. Will I be able to use 2 on this device or I need to purchase 2 separate for each deck? Turntables are 100V, 11W, 50/60Hz. Thank you
Thanks Don. Very helpful. Just returning from the EU with some small appliances that need stepped down and wanted to make sure I had the settings right. Now I will !!
Don,
I have a Yinleader Step Up & Step Down Voltage Transformer Power Converter,Convert 220V to 110V or 110V to 220V
(500W)
that does not seem to be working, where do you suggest I get some troubleshooting or fixed?
Could you power an induction range off of this?
Up to 500 watts
I wonder if this can run an electric stove because I been wanting one of those but I don't have 220v at the house and it cost alot to have it set-up... Anyone know? Or is it to much wattage that those stoves pull ?
dreamkiss4u you need to know the amps of the stove so you can multiply the amps and volts to get the watts to order the correct transformer. The one he has is only 500 watts
@@jaredwaldrip8211 Mine is rated 204-240v
Would this work as a lv2 ev changer
Do you mean charger? I have the same question if so.
That was great! Thanks for making this. I was trying to understand how these things worked. Now I do. 👍
Great video 👍🏽
Where can I find that converter plug??
Can you please send me the link to buy?
Thank you
Excellent review thanks for sharing!
How safe would this be to run air conditioner from an 110 outlet?
it wouldn't work with a window unit style AC. The Ac would draw too much current. Sorry!
@@DonBrandt is there an alternative or another transformer we could use to plug in a 230 window unit into the 110 volt or would it be best to hire an electrician to change the outlet? I saw someone did it with this same transformer for their window air unit so I was going to copy them but I like doing more research then them. It’s working normal for them but I wonder if it’s going to shorten the years the unit will be functioning.
You'll need to have an electrician run a circuit with the proper outlet for your AC.
so this will not damage your electrical system in your house so long as your main panel has enough room?
European output AC220V can I use American plug without adapter
I bought one so I could use my European slushie maker but it still doesn't work, could it be the fuse in the cord that needs replacing?
To be honest the only reason i buy this is for the iron core transformer
you can get one from a microwave 5$ craigs list
Hello I am currently overseas and dealing with some American 110 electronics and some 220 in the house. Plugs are minimal. I have one side for 110 and the other Plug is 220. Can I use both sides of the converter at once. Basically run my American and European electronics off the same box?
Does the 220 volt have a neutral wire? BTW - I'm not talking about the ground...
G4000 means 4000 watt ?
You should be able to plug in the USA plug directly into the 220v side without the adapter. A word of caution is someone (like a kid) who doesn't realize this could plug in a 110v appliance into that plug.
Your explanation and video is the best so far the others who posted on youtube are all rubbish. Thanks
is this gonna work with washer or dryer in u.s.a
No, a dryer requires 1800 to 5000 watts, this is only 500 watts
Will this be able to run with an electric dryer
No, a dryer requires 1800 to 5000 watts, this is only 500 watts
I have a stand mixer 220 volts and 800 watts please what transformer can i use to function it
Cool review.nice info
The receptacles adapter is Indian/European
Q how long can you run this setup safely without overheating ?
Thank you
Some people are using these for a model of Cpap machine that has this issue where it takes like an hour to power up. They say it works. However, I see some that have european and usa power plugs. My question is...as an American who may travel to Europe soon and has this cpap with the power up issue, I'd like to use this thing in europe too. Will it work if I plug it in with the other power cord? Or will it do nothing because the power there is already 220? In other words, what happens if you plug a 110 to 220 converter into something that's already 220? And in my case, where the cpap machine supposedly calls for any voltage, but people say this helps them in a usa outlet with this model that's a little sketchy, will it work both here and in europe for this application?
Currently, I'm reaserching about that Chinese style outlet because I want to know at how many amps it's rated. Do you know by any chance?
Are we able to buy a higher wattage step up/step down converter? I'm looking into buying a BGA rework station and those are only available in 220v models.
sir, i bought vaccum cleaner from japan with a rating of 100v, 1000w power consumption, 50-60hz. i would to ask your expertise as what rating of transformer should i buy so i can use it in the philippines which uses 220v. i shall appreciate your reply
At 6:45, what is that some floating thing above the converter after he says, " its pretty beat up" ?
This was awesome straight to the point and all the information I needed to convert my appliances for my business ty so much just ordered I pray it works for me
I have a 220v motor that I'm trying to run from 110v and this seems like the solution. The wire from motor has 4 wires: black, red, green, and blue. Will this motor work with this step up converter?
this the 220v convert the 50hz to the 60z?
According to the manufacture description on Amazon, Yes. Most devices these days will work on both 50/60hz. But I would check the device label. If you have something that is specifically 50hz, then I would ask the seller on Amazon to clarify. But according to their description, yes.
2:15 This is EU plug.
Please may I know if 110v and 160v enter can it damage the transformer.
I have an other one its older.
I have to plug the wires in certain number
0-0-90-110-125-220
I want the wall outlet to be 110 and the 220 is for an ac, how do i need to insert the wires?
will this device work under 110 input voltage?? i really wish you could test it and see the lowest voltage it can operate thanks.
can i plug my 100 volt amp to a 110 volt transformer to step up to 220volts? is the 10 volts difference will burn my amplifier? thanks
knowing wattage would be helpful
No Problem, its 500 watts
Please can i put that transformer on my entire wiring or there's another one special for that?
