Power how to convert a 110v appliance to a 220v appliiances i know some capacitors or so have to be replace but im not too sure the one. plz help me for some one brought a laserjet for me to handle the conversion n i assured him i will do it.

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.

Get a step down transformer/converter. Grill consumes 1500watts of energy. Converts cost 200 dollars here at sim lim tower/square. Make sure get the correct watts, it is very important.

Have a look on ebay for cheap converters:

if you need 110V US to 220V UK (6.99):

or 220V UK to 110V US (3.00)

Hope helps

The VCT Electronics Simran AC-2000 is a step-up and step-down voltage converter transformer that is designed to convert between 110V and 220V electrical power. It can be used to power appliances that are rated for use with either voltage, allowing you to use your appliances in countries with different electrical systems. The AC-2000 has a maximum power rating of 2000 watts, and it is equipped with multiple safety features to protect against overloads, short circuits, and other hazards. It is also designed with a compact and lightweight form factor, making it easy to carry and store.

You may be lucky enough that the capacitor exploded from the 220 volt charge. You will have to enquire at an appliance repair shop for exact advice. Basically I would junk it and get the correct unit for the voltage and cycles in you area.

all you need to do is to purchase a power converter also known as transformer that converts the European 220v to110 v, so that American appliances will operate on European current.

If you want to fry your electronics or appliances that's it's a sure way to accomplish that.
While appliance working ONLY at 220v will just not work or under perform (like a hair drier) when plugging electronic equipment that runds ONLY at 110v then that item will be "fried" as all its electric components will be burnt as it will receive twice the power that it was build to receive. Should that happen the safety switch on the 220v circuit where the item was MISTAKENLY plugged will be triggered (hopefully or there will be risk of fire and serious injuries, even death) and the power will be shut off. That's a major but possible mistake.
If traveling abroad those who come to US will unlikely damage their appliances (like electric razors) as they will receive less power (110v vs 220v) and usually these items are protected against these mistakes by the specifications of their own design. The opposite is not true of course as just mentioned above.
So do not play around with dangerous items please! ;) On a positive note though: Nowadays most appliances have dual power and should work whether plugged in a 110v, 60Hz (most common in US) or 220v 50Hz (most common in Europe). So nothing really happens... it just works as long as you have the proper adapters to plug the appliance to the different receptacles.
Note: One of the differences is that (without going into the math of it all), an appliance working at 110v will draw x2 times the power than it draws when working on 220v so if an appliance was drawing 3A at 110v it will only draw 1.5A when working at 220v.
Best.

yeah...buy a step down transformer there in vietnam...im sure they have some there. try to buy the one best suited for your refrigerator in terms of capacity rating. if your ref is big, then buy a big transformer. dont use any type of step down transformer.

Hi,
Dont do any thing with your printer power supply and just purchase Step-Down AC Transformer. Its input will be 220Volts AC and will out 110Volts AC. One thing important, read the printer power consumption watts and get proper one. Got the point buddy?

The voltage rating of the cable is not a problem. For all home appliances, including TV sets, the voltage rating of the power cable is supposed to be up in the 600 Volt to 1000 Volt range depending on the particular manufacture of the cable. This is not an issue. I have never seen a home appliance that could handle more than 240 VAC.

As for the Amperage rating of cable, it is more than adequate for the appliance that the cable is sold for. The 220 Volt appliances use about 1/2 the amperage that their equivelent 120 Volt appliances use. This is because the wattage for the power consumption is normaly constant.

The power cable is not a factor here. If the power supply in the TV can take the 220 VAC, and the 50 Hz power line frequency then there are no problems from that point.
