How do I choose the right Voltage Converter?

To determine the correct model voltage converter or heavy duty transformer you need, you must find the watts of your appliance. 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. We recommend to use a Voltage Converter / Transformer that's max watts is at least 50% higher than your appliance. Some appliances such as Power tools, Motors, Laser printers and TVs require a converter 2-3 times the watts that the appliance is rated for.

Example:
For an appliance rated at 500W, you should select a voltage converter or transformer with at least 1000W.

Other Considerations:
A higher watts rated transformer will never hurt your appliance, however if you buy one that is not strong enough, it will not work.

Items such as TVs, Microwave ovens, laser printers and power tools require a transformer with 3 times the watts rating on the equipment. This is because these items require a surge of power when the are first turned on.

If Watts are not listed on your product:
Watts may be abbreviated as W on your appliance. However if you can't find watts or w on the label of your appliance, than you may be able to Find Amps also known as amperage, and A. This can be converted to watts to select the correct converter.

If only the amperage rating is shown, multiply the input voltage by the amperage rating to find the wattage rating. Volts x Amps = Watts or 110V x 1.5 A = 165W
