![]() ![]() So i needed to convert its 110 to 220 for brown outs. whisper quiet honda generator very fuel efficient EUi series. I bought the one with two outlets and a switch on the back that lets you convert 110 to 220 and then switch to convert 220 to 110. Not sure, did i get a 4500 watt 220 ? hmmm I think the one i got listed its Wattage in terms of the 110 output so i would not be confused. ![]() The ones they sell at the hardware stores vary from very basic with the coil roll exposed and all, to well built boxes. ![]() Get the excess watt one for your 1200 watt appliance. Sorry none of my comments directly apply to your question about converting at plug, but there are some other members with much better electrical knowledge that may be able to help you, but I hope my information helps you or gives you information for you to think lots of search results on the internet says you can convert 220v to 110v at an outlet, a local electrician and my EE grad nephew in Cebu both say No. You may want to read other threads on the forum for more information. Supposedly a new transformer, at your expense (not the electrical supplier's), or converters help this situation. The lower voltage does chew up and spit out electrical appliances including lighting fixtures with ballasts, microwaves etc. Thirdly many times the problem is not the excess voltage as much as the reduced voltage delivered here by the highest price electrical supplier in Asia. Secondly you do not have to buy a 15oo watt converter there are smaller converters at a more reasonable price, check Citi hardware as one source. You may want to "mark" you 110 appliances, the tape is like 15 P at Novo (next to Lee Plaze) for a small roll. I tell any of my guest when they arrive, not to plug a "red" plug into a wall socket and have not lost any appliances due to being plug in inappropriately. If it can not (110 volt), and must go through a converter it gets a red piece of tape around the plug. ![]() If a appliances can be plugged into the 220 v wall plugs here I put green around the plug cord up against the plug. I purchased two roll of electrical tape here, one green and one read. I have done a few thing in dealing with electrical situation here. &Imps idea to make the 110 volt appliance cords will save you a lot of grief. NOTE:You can buy an AVR which often will have a 11o volt output but a 1500 VA (watt) 220v AVR will only supply 750 VA (watt)at 110 volts.Check the specs before you buy. Your best bet is to buy a step down transformer. I have a 1200w 110v small cooking appliance coming and if I could just add a small box to a heavy duty ext cord and proper breaker etc it'd be a lot cheaper than buying a 1500w power supply. You will still end up with 220 volts that will drop off close to 0 volts when th appliance is turned on and the potential to get a nasty shock. He was told it's a lousy idea but it'd work. I did find a Yahoo Answers ? where the guy in Phils asked if he could disconnect one wire and cap it, then run a wire from the empty side of the outlet to a copper ground stake (which I would want to do anyway). The 3 wire Edison connection is often found in North American kitchens and cloths dryer outlets. It is technically called a "3 wire Edison" connection. North America uses 120 Volts, 2 phase (180 degrees apart). The Philipines use 220 Volts single phase. So what's different about the way Noreco delivers power that prevents it? Though lots of search results on the internet says you can convert 220v to 110v at an outlet, a local electrician and my EE grad nephew in Cebu both say No. ![]()
