My dewalt radio does not work it was a 110v and someone told me you can swap it to a 240v so i swaped the plugs and it came on for about 2 mins and then went off i've replaced the 110v plug and checked the fuses but nothing seems to work has my radio seen its last days or is there anything else i can do
Re: My dewalt radio does not work it was a 110v and...
Sadly , chances are you blow the whole power supply on it. you should check with your local servicenter for an estimate on the repair. the units that are made for USA are 110v

If you are using a 220V-240V appliance at 110V, you will need a transformer. If you are using a 110V appliance at 220V-240V, you can also use a transformer but may be able to get away with a (cheaper) converter though not with all appliances.
Can't say for certain, but there are specific 110V and 220V versions of DCB101.
None are labelled 90-220VAC as would be normal for universal voltage equipment.
If you operate 110V equipment on 220V then you will most likely damage it with overvoltage.
If you operate 220V equipment on 110V then you will most likely damage it in over current or have it simply not work.
It is possible that the charger is universal, just not labelled as such.

Its not really clear to me where your measuring once you plug in the dryer, but all phases are measuring the correct voltage before, it appears you have an open circuit once you plug the dryer in. Now a dryer is 2 phase, so I would check all of your wiring connections, I would also check your circuit breaker and try swapping it out with a new one(as a last resort). Do some experimenting. In a dryer the heating elements are the only thing that runs on the 240V power. I would swap the hot leads in the dryer and see if any of the electrical components come on. Also try testing the continuity on your dryer plug wires to make sure there isn't a break in them (which can be proven by swapping the leads because now the same lead will read 0V on the other terminal).
Your radio must be a import from the U.S.A. Your radio will not work on 240v YOU WILL BLOW IT UP!!! You need a step down transformer 240v to 110v to goto your radio, you will have to do a search on Ebay in Power tools. You sould notice the lead on your 110v radio is not like normal flex as its only single insulated for 110 volts.... Don't put a normal plug on or you may have to call the fire brigade!!
all i can say get a seperate step up transformer fron 110v to 220v.then just plug in charger to the step up transformer. make sure that u have 2 consider the frequency in ur country.
