Electronic Product with US Plug. How to solve?

[Diaborex]

As title suggest, what should i do? does any travel plug works??

Thank you in advance.

U need to check whether the device support 230V.

i believe its US standard. i probably need a transformer . where can i get 1 of those?

You need to check if the input voltage range is between 100V - 240V. If YES then just get a travel adapter will do.

If the input voltage only stated 100V. You need to get a step up transformer to step up the voltage from 100V to 230V before using it.

110V input voltage.

Where can get a transformer? how much are those

Go sim lim tower find wont be expensive.

110V input voltage.

Can tell what's your item that came with AC 110V supply? The supply is directly connected to the device itself or like those tablet charger that came with an adapter? If adapter just find out the output dc voltage, u should be able to source the similar output voltage (with 230V AC input) locally.

You'll need step down transformer, not step up, we use ~230V AC. like PC power supply, you should get higher power than the devices would draw, probably 2x or more. I got myself a 300W Automatic Transformer for a disc player that drawn ~60W.

The less than 100W version are usually comes in adapter type that plug directly to wall socket. Its convenience and less clutter not recommended as its usually cheaply made, a size this small will always have lots of corners cut.

For Audio/videophile, they usually get kilowatts rated to minimise the effect cause by the AC conversion. the higher price also allow these beast(size of AV receiver/power amp) to have better components used. Sim Lim Tower and the surrounding area all have shops selling these.

as for the plug, the transformer/adapter usually have universal socket. if it doesn't, get a universal plug for ~$3 from your neighbour hardware shop.

p.s. the transformer isn't expensive, the less than 100W is $20 or less; the ~300W is ~$35; the ~500W about ~$60, the 1000W is ~$100....

I recently bought a PowerPac transformer from Homefix. There's a switch that allows it to step up or down, depending on your needs. The one I bought supports devices that are up to 65W I think, and there's one that goes up to 80W.

I paid about $16.90 if I remember correctly.

Have used it for a couple of weeks, it's still going strong.

i got this speaker. i thought it was USB powered...

Look like u got to get yourself a transformer in order to use the set. Check for the power rating (Watt) on the speaker and try to get for the similar or slightly higher watt.
