Now get a converter with higher capability

Step 3

Determine the Volts !Step 1

1 1 0 V o l t s 110 Volts 220 Volts

Most of the world has 1 of 2 options for voltage. North America, Central America and the northern portion of South America all take 110/120 volts.

Europe, Asia, most of South America and most of Africa take 220/240 Volts.

Where are you planning on traveling, what electrical items are you taking with you and is it 110-220 volts?

Check out the map to find out what type of converter you’ll need for your next adventure

We recommend buying a converter with a certain percentage of higher wattage capability.

This is important because in doing so you greatly minimize your chances of overloading the converter all the while making sure you get your money’s worth because this will help to extend the life of your voltage converter transformer or regulator.

Every day electronics:We recommend a converter with a 30%

higher wattage capability.

Now it’s time to choose your converter

We found the VOLTS, now lets get the WATTS !Your product will contain a label with information about its wattage and/or within your product’s manual there will be information explaining how many watts your product needs.

Can’t find the Watts? If you can’t find information on the watts, then see if you can find the amount of amps it uses either on a label or in the manual. If you are able to find the amps, then you just need to do a simple equation to convert amps to watts.

( E x . 1 0 a m p s X 1 1 0 V o l t s = 1 , 1 0 0 W a t t s )

The equation is AMPS x VOLTS = WATTS

F i n d t h a tl a b e l

For Motorized equipment, Appliances, Coffee Maker:We recommend DOUBLING YOUR WATTS

( E x . I f y o u r p r o d u c t s a y s 1 1 0 0 W a t t s t h e n s h o u l d p u r c h a s e a c o n v e r t e r m a d e f o r a t l e a s t 2 2 0 0 w a t t s )

Watts Converter life

jpeghere

Designed for use with personal appliances and small electronic devices while traveling overseas. There are a few types of travel converters available in 50-1850 watts

designed for short-term use when traveling abroad.

Travel Voltage Converters

Made for electronic items that use 110/120 volts toOperate. Converts a 220/240 volts power source

down to 110/120 volts.

(Ex. If you are trying to use an electronic item made to be used in North American and want it work in most of Europe, Asia, South America, & Africa.)

Step Down Voltage Converters

(Ex. If you are trying to use an electronic item made to be used in mostof Europe, Asia, South America, or Africa but want it to work in North America.)

Made for electronic items that use 220/240 voltsto operate. Converts a 110 volts power source

up to 220 volts to operate.

Step Up and Down Voltage Converters

The Deluxe Voltage Converters with Regulator does it all. Made for 110 or 220 voltage

electronic items. Can both Step Down or StepUp and also will work as a Voltage Regulatorsimultaneously. Deluxe Voltage Converters

have a Regulator, surge protector, and a safety fuse orcircuit breaker. They even have a LED display with the

input and outputvoltage (the electricity entering into your

electronic item) visible on the display for easeof use. New models now come with a USB Charger for

your cell phone and laptops.
