Shop step-up and step-down voltage converters and travel transformers for operating equipment from a different AC mains voltage. Wallco offers portable transformers and voltage converters for 110V, 117V, 120V, 220V and related international power applications.
Compare products by input and output voltage, wattage capacity, step-up or step-down capability, outlet configuration and intended equipment load.
Step-up and step-down transformers change AC voltage so compatible equipment can operate from a different mains supply. Typical applications include using 120V equipment from a 220V source or supplying higher-voltage equipment from a lower-voltage source.
Step-down transformers reduce the incoming AC voltage. They are commonly used when lower-voltage equipment must operate from a higher-voltage electrical system.
Step-up transformers increase the supplied AC voltage for equipment requiring a higher operating voltage. Some transformer designs are reversible and can operate in either step-up or step-down applications when configured correctly.
Portable travel transformers and converters are designed for equipment used in locations with different mains voltages. A plug-shape adapter may also be required depending on the destination country and outlet configuration.
The converter must be rated for the connected equipment load. Compare the equipment's wattage or VA requirement with the converter rating and allow appropriate capacity for startup or continuous operating requirements.
Identify the available input voltage and the voltage required by the equipment, then determine the necessary wattage. Confirm whether the converter provides step-up, step-down or reversible operation and whether an additional physical plug adapter is required.
