If I use electrical equipment from China, which is 220v, is it ok to use in US with this transformer? And how?
1239131
I used it the same way and the fuse kept burning out. I returned it because it was of no use to us with our Chinese 220v appliances.
1239132
That would work. However, I can't tell you how as an adapter is necessary which is provided with the unit which will enable you to do so. However, it has been so long since I did this that I can't tell you the appropriate connection steps.
1239133
Yes, you can! This transformer input 110v and output 220v. The only thing you should notice is that the voltage capacity is just 100W!
1239134
Yes, you can, as long that the output (measured in Watt) is lower than 100. Before you put it in the wall, make sure you choose the right voltage (on the back). There are different slots, so make sure you use the right one.

Remember this item is 110v and won't work outside the US. Most European countries are 220v the UK and Ireland are 240v. You can't use an adapter and a transformer would be too expensive as they eat up electricity. They have these in other European countries in most hardware and DIY stores like OBI or Hornbach in Germany, Homebase or B and Q in the UK and Ireland.

Yes, the transformer runs on both 110/220 but you may need a plug adapter depending on your area, it comes with the two prong U.S type plug.

I have to answer here because so many have said that this is only 110V.Transformer is 100-240V so it works in every country. You may need adapter for electricity socket because different countries have different sockets.

Thanks for your info. Ordered one to use in HK and hope they do not change the provided variable transformer.UPDATE: The charger is 120-240V and the vac cleaner is really good. Should outperform similar products selling in HK.

You will need a 120v to 220v step "up" transformer if it is from another country and you want to use it in the US, You will need a 220v to 120v step "Down" transformer if it is from the US and you want to use it IN another country. Try the "Goldsource STU-100" "up\down converter $11.99 on amazon

i think you might need converter while you use in China. China is 220v, but USA and Japan are all 110v
1044246
Yes you can use this converter in the US, since it is a dual converter, which means it can do 110-220 and 220-110. However, as stated in a previous answer, be careful with the wattage of the item to be plugged in; make sure not to exceed 70-80 per cent of the maximum wattage of the transformer.

I looked in my book and the way I read it you can either use 110 0r 220 by just plugging it in. It says you may have to use an adaptor for the the right configuration of the out let in a foreign countries. Ed

I asked my hubby and he says the transformer is a fixed 120 volt @ 60 Hz type, but it will take a universal adaptor that you can buy at Radio Shack to work worldwide.

I purchased the machine has been used in China, is currently normal. China's power supply standard 220v50Hz

China's energy standards are the following: 220V, 50HZ, AC. This transformer appears to handle that conversion. You may need to buy the appropriate plug ends for China to mate with the transformer. China uses its own standard like North America has its standard etcI was reading a comment on another site & the US manufacturer suggested that the transformer should be purchased in the country of use to ensure that it meets all standards for that country & has the appropriate plugs, etc.

Yes the supplied transformer is rated for 110-240v, although you might need plug adapter depending on your location.

It sounds like you will NOT need a transformer but just a plug adapter. The power supply of your item is capable of any input voltage from 100v to 230v, and 50 or 60Hz. The US uses 120v and 60Hz so it will work there. The only consideration now is if you have the right plug shape to plug into US wall sockets. I have moved between Canada/US [120v/60Hz] and Europe and Australia [230v/50Hz], so I have some experience with this. All of my electronics that are marked this way worked in these locations (TVs, laptops, most modern chargers).So you don't need an active transformer like this, you just need a simple physical plug adapter like this: Ceptics Grounded Universal Plug Adapter for US (Type B) - 3 Pack It sounds like you will NOT need a transformer but just a plug adapter.

Hi Jong J., I'll answer for your question. Please let you know about extra money for use ICB3 in Korea. Korea use 220V/60Hz power system. USA use 120V/60Hz power system. Therefore, you will need to use step-down transformer for ICB3 because it does not have universal power cuircuit. It requieres 120V/15-20A capacity of transformer. And also, You need to use a conversion plug from type B (2Flat+earth) to E or G that is used in Korea, I think. If you need to have more more knowledge, please let me know. I'll do my best. You have a good day.

No, because it's different voltage. In USA, use 115V so in order to use in 220V, you need transformer.
