I have bought one of these in Australia and i need to know how many watts should my step down transformer be can anyone please help

I have 110 voltage. My airbrush work very good. I look on the machine and the voltage is 110 - 120 V. I hope this is helpful.

the model I have you would have to use the transformer to step it up this is a 110 unit but you might be able to order the correct unit for your voltage needs you have to check with Amazon

Thanks Mastercard. I'm not sure what an AVR is, as this is my first foray in using an appliance with a different voltage requirement to what we have here in Australia. I should correct my post by pointing out the step down transformer is actually for 240v>110v. The Onkyo TX-NR609 retails for A$1000+ here and our dollar is worth around 105 US cents. So despite the voltage inconvenience, I'm well ahead on the deal. I do wonder however as to what the idle power consumption of the transformer will be.

This is a late answer - but what you need to know is the power consumption of your amplifier. This will be printed on the back, on the same label that says 220-240v, 50Hz. The power output to the speakers doesn't tell you what you need to know, as different classes of amplifiers have different efficiencies. If the label on the back lists a consumption of circa 100 watts or less, then this step up transformer is fine. If your amplifier has power consumption greater than 100 watts continuous, then you need a bigger step-up transformer.

The one I purchased is 110V. You need to specifications while purchasing. In case you receive other Voltage you need to buy Stepdown or Stepup Transformer off 2500Watts. Product specification is 1500Watts but need 2500. Else transformer will go bad.

When I lived in England I had a step down transformer which I used to go from 220/240 to 110 volts. They may even sell them on Amazon. However, they are big and heavy and will probably get pretty warm if left on for 8-12 hours?

It's fixed at 120V, so we bought a step-down transformer to use it in New Zealand. No problems, terrific little machine. Merry Christmas

No --- One should use a step down transformer from a reliable electrical firm. Mine came from a large electrical house. It has a 30 Amp rating. Will step down 230 to 117. Has multiple outlets.For the more thrifty, find out what the box pulls for amps, then talk to AAA ( the car guys ) and see what they have in the way of travel converters

The input voltage is 120V ~ 60Hz 0.68A. The Input Power is 33W. The Output is: 22.5V As I am in New Zealand with 240-220 voltage, I have bought a step-down Transformer, 50W with 240V - 115V. By Power TechPlus N287. Model Cat.MF -1091. Does this help?

My relative lives in Hong Kong and has been using a 600 series (120v) non-stop for 4 years with a heavy duty step down transformer - still running w no problems. She purchased and used the unit for two years in the US prior to moving overseas. That said, there are distributors located throughout Asia who carry the 220v units. However their list prices (in HK at least) were 40-60% more expensive than US sellers.

Using a step down transformer may work but it has be heavy duty capable of handling high wattage. Better to buy 110V gadget.

Yes, but you'll have to buy a 300w step down transformer from 240v Aus to 110 120v US. I bought one thru ebay 3 months ago for $43.00 Aus. Hope this helps.

Yes it has, which is a nuisance, do not buy if you live in Australia. I used a transformer, but it did not work.

There is a voltage issue, sadly. You need a step-down transformer, which is what I use.

Hmm, I got the answer. Check the review by MF on September 10, 2011. He wrote:"Un-fortunately I didn't have the chance to try it all, it doesn't work with 220V used in Australia & was damaged immediately ( my mistake I didn't remember to check)"Even I bought this and I'll have to get a step-down transformer before using it in 220-240 V countries.

Hey there I have a 55" Samsung UE55f6510 TV from the UK, as well as an imported Playstation 2 and Gamecube all attached to my litefuze and they all work flawlessly. Here is the exact answer you are looking for The manufacturer recommends you purchase a transformer that is 100% higher then the wattage you need.You should know that you will never damage your appliance with a higher wattage transformer, however if you buy one that is not powerful enough, it will not work. Use Amps to calculate watts Volts (times) Amps = Watts, For Example 110V x 5A = 550W Remember to leave at least a 100% slack for the transformer. Using them to maximum capacity will eventually burn the transformer out after prolonged use. Some items, such as, laser printers and power tools spike when you turn them on. For these types of situations you need to buy a transformer that is at least 3 times the items capacity.
