Review on πŸ”Œ Simran AC-500 Step up Down Transformer: Efficient 110 to 220 Voltage Power Converter, 500 Watt, Black by Sonny Nevers

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Allows me to use some European tools

This machine converts 120 volt US AC 60 Hz (or 240 volt US AC 60 Hz) to European 240 volt AC 50 Hz, allowing me to have some European woodworking tools on my can use business. This conversion cannot be made from a NEMA 240 volt US plug to a 240 volt European plug adapter cord because 240 volts US is generated by 120 volts at each of the two input terminals being 180 degrees out of phase with each other, where the European 240 volt is 240 volts on one input terminal relative to zero volts on the other input terminal. The 60Hz to 50Hz conversion allows European instruments to run at the set speed. This converter works great without the risk of damaging the instruments.
