While this review is centered around converters that change the 220 volts used in most countries around the world down to U.S. voltage, most of these kits also act as power adapters, allowing you to
READ MOREWorld Voltages. The world runs in two voltage ranges: 110-127V or 220-240V. If your device falls within either range, variations within that range won''t be a problem for short-term use. If the local power is 110V, for

In all fields of electrical engineering, power conversion is the process of converting electric energy from one form to another. A power converter is an electrical or electro-mechanical device for converting electrical energy. A power converter can convert alternating current (AC) into direct current (DC) and vice versa; change the voltage or frequency of the current or do some combination of these. The power converter can be as simple as a transformer or it can be a far more complex

Additionally, and as a preventative measure, it''s recommended to purchase a voltage converter that exceeds the wattage of your electronics by about 50%. If your hair dryer is rated at 1180 watts, a 1200 watt transformer may not be sufficient.
READ MOREMake sure to double-check all the plug types before you leave on your trip. Keep in mind that most sockets in Europe have high levels of power (typically 220 volts at 50 cycles), twice the voltage of American power systems. It may be way too much for your appliance. Remember: an adapter plug doesn''t convert the voltage.

READ MOREThe primary function of a current-to-voltage converter is to provide a linear relationship between the input current and the output voltage. In other words, the output voltage is directly proportional to the input current. The basic concept behind its operation involves the use of a resistor to convert the current into a voltage drop across the

READ MOREA voltage converter is a static electrical device that converts an AC voltage of a certain value into a voltage with the same frequency but different values. Transformers are made of two or more sets of coils wound on the same bobbin or on the same iron core. Voltage converters are divided into single-phase converters and three
READ MOREVoltage Converter As we know, most of European & Asian countries mains power supplies are 220V (230v, 240v). But in North America, the voltage is generally 110V (120v). We can use all foreign electric appliances with a voltage converter, such as: 4K television, BD player, hair dryer, cooking machine, electric shaver, air purifier, rice
