Hi All,
Good Evening. Just now I have received my first ever international shopping product. It's a Glade Plugin Aroma Diffuser and a Febreze Plugin Aroma Diffuser. Among those the Glade thing is specified to run on a 120V 60Hz 3.0W. I suppose that the Febreze also run on the same only. I am in India where we all are supplied with 220V on 50Hz. What to do? Please advise.
With Hope,
Prabhakaran.

 

You will need to buy a 110V to 220V adapter.

 

Sometimes it still is the problem. When working element is type of heater, the transformer will be sufficient. Yet when the motor is the thing in actuator, the problem is caused by frequency more than by voltage. For example the hysteresis motor of washing machine - if feed by 110 V 50 Hz ir will 1) overheat 2) not turn no a lest. If feed it by 90 V, the overheating becomes better, and motor even shows signs of willing to turn, but the power is hardly too small thus it stays stopped until burns off. There are no any better way as to solder the IR2153 frequency changer.

 

You couldn't find the same things designed for Europe?

 

You might be able to wire an incandescent light bulb in series to drop the voltage, at least as a temporary fix.

Yup

 

Those are both low-power devices, so possibly a travel adapter module intended to allow operation of 120 volt devices from 220 volt mains will work. Otherwise you may be able to acquire either a step-down transformer or a simple isolation transformer With a unity ratio transformer you could put the two windings in series and have 120 volts across each winding.
