I have a question...I need to buy a transformer that can convert 220 V to 110..but the problem is whenever i get on a website to get info they say i also need the Amps or watts of the control unit..which i don't know...i have a tattoo machine control unit which needs to be converted...I'm just wondering how much power does a tattoo machine have..i don't want to but a transformer with not enough power...how much amps or watts can the unit have comparable to other household units..blow dryer, curling iron?
how many motors on the machine as i think there is 1. what was the european rating for watts or amps if 220volts
i don't know but i checked on ebay and they have 100-200watt step up step down converters from 220 to 110 and vice versa...but what is the stepup and step down terms mean?
just that there should be numbers on the motor indicating watts, amps & voltage. did you try the manufacturer website if there is 1??
you have to open it up to get your #'s Step up-down heavy duty transformers convert AC electricity either way from 220 volt to 110 volt (step down) or 110 volt to 220 volt (step-up)
If no watts are shown and only amps are shown, multiply the volts (input AC) by the amps to find the watts.For example, Volts(AC input) x Amps(amperage) = Watts (Wattage) 110V x 0.5A = 55W Note: voltage converters or transformers do not change cycles (50Hz or 60Hz) you may also have to get a international plug adapter don't know what your try to ink maybe an elephant w/220volts most run on 3.5 to 18 volts. maybe just buy a new power supply anywhere from $40 to $199 just have to watch clip cord ends i think you can them at your local r shack
Actually there's nothing on the control unit but under the foot pedal it has these numbers: 2410.0301 u 6(2,5)/250 ~ and then theres a line with three lines horizontaly
if the 250 is volts than the 6 is amps so half the volts & double the amps to get 115v x 12a = 1380watts. what the 2,5 stands for i don't know
