Not sure if you need a heavy duty transformer? Transformers are used with electronic appliances, in other words, appliances that have a chip or circuit. Transformers can also be used with electric appliances that will be operated for many days continually.
Products would include:
- CD players
- Radios
- Electric razors
- Battery chargers
- Printers
- Fax machines
- Fluorescent lamps
- Televisions.
Because most laptop battery chargers and AC adapters are dual voltage, they can be used with only a plug adapter for the country you'll be visiting.
To decrease voltage when using 120 volt North American electronic equipment and appliances in countries with 220-240 volt electricity just switch to the Step Down mode. To increase voltage when using 220-240 volt electronic equipment and appliances in North America switch to the Step Up mode.
This product includes a grounded 120 volt North American socket (that accepts North American plugs), a grounded 240 volt Continental European socket (that accepts most European plugs), and a 6 ft. cord with grounded North American plug.
You will need an adapter if you're traveling to any of the following countries:
U.K.,
Italy,
Switzerland
or
Denmark, or any other country outside of North America.
