Hello everyone I need some help
I am an expat living in Italy, and brought some household appliances from the us, forgetting that even with the adapter plug, the voltage is still at 220.
I dont want to pay $140 for a 1000w step down transformer, I have access to motor wire, and steel. Thus I think it would be cheaper if I built one.
This is what I need to know
for a 1000 watt output on the 110v side
1. what size wire to use for the 220v side of the coil and how many windings.
2 what size wire to use for the 110 volt side of the coil and how many windings.
3. what style of Iron core will be the best an E, I, or other style, solid block of metal or laminated and bolted.
4. stacked coil one on top of the other, or e style.
5. can i use an appliances ( electric griddle, 800watts, blender, 350watts) that is designed for 110v 60hrz on a 110v 50 hertz system?
Please let me know
Thanks
Brad
