This includes many countries in Asia, most countries in Africa and some countries in Europe. We also recommend them for anyone that will use in any country where the voltage is not stable.

We normally recommend voltage stabilizers or regulators for anyone that is using high value electronics or appliances. If the voltage gets to an unsafe range then the voltage converter will shut off.

As long as it is within a safe range the voltage stabilizer or regulator will hold it steady at the desired output of 110 volts or 220 volts. Many countries are supposed to be 220 volts or 230 volts, however the voltage often fluctuates. They convert the electricity from 220 volts to 110 volts or 110 volts to 220 volts and also stabilize or regulate the voltage.Ī Voltage Converter or Stabilizer is required when using your electronic appliances in countries where voltage is not stable. They perform 2 functions at the same time. Our Type 4 and Type 5 Voltage Converters come with a Voltage Regulator. A Voltage Stabilizer or Regulator maintain a steady voltage, so your electric appliances can be used without a problem. In many places in the world voltage fluctuates. If the condition becomes too extreme, these high quality voltage converters will simply shut down, protecting your appliances.Ī Voltage Regulator is a device that stabilizes voltage. Our Type 4 and Type 5 voltage transformers keep the output voltage stable no matter how much the input voltage varies. To protect your valuable electronics, we offer high quality voltage converters with voltage stabilizers built right in. Often, when this low voltage condition returns to normal it is followed by a surge of power (watts), which can damage electrical appliances. For most appliances, this is worse than if the voltage just completely shut off. This occurs when the voltage dips so low that lights actually dim considerably. In many areas, “brownouts” are very common. In some countries, the voltage can fluctuate more than a few volts. Therefore, any quality Step-Up voltage converter allows any 110 volt appliance to operate in 220, 230 or 240 volt countries and quality Step-Down voltage converters allow any 220 volt appliance to operate in any 110 volt or 120 volt country. Likewise, 220 volt or 230 volt appliances can usually operate anywhere between 220 volts and 240 volts. Appliances rated for 110 volts or 120 volts can usually operate anywhere between 100 volts and 127 volts. Voltage converter are rated within a voltage range.

This is because of the initial surge of power required when they are first turned on. Items such as TVs, microwave ovens, laser printers and power tools require a transformer with 3 times the watts rating on the equipment. We recommend using a Voltage Converter / Transformer with a rated wattage at least 50% higher than your appliance(s). You can find this information listed on the appliance manufacturer's label located on the back or bottom of the appliance or in the specifications section of the appliance owner's manual. To determine the correct model voltage converter or heavy duty transformer you need, you must first find the "watts" of your appliance(s).
