QUOTE(aaronpang @ Aug 14 2017, 03:16 PM) Japan appliance voltage 110v Malaysia current is 220v. How to pass SIRIM like that  ?  I have been to Japan many times but didnt know their voltage is 110v. Lucky never fry anything as all auto switching. I have been to US, buy many items back, just buy step up adaptor there as well very cheap only, 110 -> 220-240 something like this step down adaptor.  |

Since I move away and have a full container to myself, I brought along with me my iron, rice cooker, dyson stuff, etc. I did not bring my fridge or washing machine though. This stuff is still in good condition and no point for me to buy again. Invested in a 2000W transformers and plug and unplug the electrical stuff when I need to use it. Yes, in that case you need a bigger one. I just power gadgets I bought from US, wireless walkie talkie, cams, etc...I also wanted to use my car amp at home, but the cost of a good and stable AC-DC converter that can handle high amp output cost almost the 1/2 price of a good home amp, so gave up the the idea. |
