220V to 110V

Recommended Posts

Hi
I just would like to inquire about a coffegrinder
that was given to me from europe.  The plug on
it was not the standard 110V supply so I changed
the plug on it to suit my outlet.  Now it still grinds but
the problem is that it runs slower.  I think I need to
change the transformer or something on it.  How
exactly do I do this and what type of transformer
do I need to install to suit my 110V outlet.
Thanks

Hi Felto..

Most devices has some sticker/label printed at the back or bottom of it..
The brand..where it is made etc..You can also find there what you are looking for..
Just look for some figure with WATTS or W on it..
Like:

240VAC, 1.0Amp or
220VAC, 150Watts
220VAC, 150W

something like that..
Goodluck

rhonn  ;) ;)

ok upon further inspecting the unit it says that it uses
250V and 1 amp.  So where do I go from there?

It looks as if the transformer is part of the whole unit
and it cant be replaced.  Can I add something within the
circuit to let it run at 110V.  Maybe a power transistor or something.............

Hi felto,

I don’t know where you live or where you are able to get stuff from but here are a few links:

You just put it between the wall outlet and your grinder. ;)
