Using Step Up /Down Voltage Converter?

RogerWilco · 1st June 2006, 06:10 PM

I have been looking at some equipment lately made in china.Alot of the equipment is only set up for 220-240v.

Is there a downside to using a step up/down converter.I see many for sell on ebay 100 -5000 watt.

I would think a benefit would be more line filtration.

But never the less china has some extremely good deals on equipment i would like to try out.

thanks

A Transformer to step down voltage should be fine.
