Hi living in the UK will this motor work on a 110v transformer.

Here in the USA we use 110 as a standard. So as long as your transformer provides 110v it will work, and boy is this a great router!!!!

Yes, as long as the amperage rating on your transformer is at the very least 15Amps, 20 would be better. You may have to change the plug or find a socket to fit the American style plug on the unit. PorterCable may nullify the warranty if you start changing things on the router itself.

As stated already, make sure your transformer can support the high current demand especially if you are biting into a large bit of wood or are using an aggressive bit. All of my shop circuits are 20 amp but 15 amp should work as well. Also, I would always defer to the manufacturer. They should have a contact with PC who can answer your question as well. Great router.

Most motors that run on either 110 or 220 will better on 220 volts. Basically you have twice the voltage (power) available for the motor to use. A no Brainer!

The proxxon saw uses a transformer as well to operate. I use the NG 5/E proxxon transformer for mine. There is another weaker transformer that you can buy, but is does not have as high a rating or positive feedback. So to answer your question. If you have the saw and the transformer and can use a conversion plug at the end of the 110 plug on the transformer, you can use it in England! For expert advice you may want to contact Proxxon online and see if they make a UK transformer. I like my saw and make sure you order lots of blades! Good Luck!

maybe if you got a European model but the one we received is only for 110. hope that helps

That little motor would burn right up on 220 volt! It is strictly 110 volt.

The drive motor is 110 volt and the 3 prong plug is set up for US. To use in the UK, you would need to add a transformer and change the plug

to my knowledge it is wired for 120 volt USA household current, I do not know if they make a UK version

This motor is the same...8.0/16.0 depending on whether it's wired for 120 or 220 volts.

I haven't used my transformer yet but yes it should work as long as you set the transformer to up the voltage from 110 volts to 220 volts .

you will need a transformer to convert 240v to 120v and you will need to put a Uk plug on itI think you can get transformers on Amazon UkProbably cheaper (higher price in £ but lower shipping cost and no need for transformer) if you buy on Amazon.it where it is called Robot Kayak Clever

The nameplate rating says 120V ~60Hz - 175W. The motor is a brush-type universal motor, similar to those used in electric drills, so it should work on DC and AC frequencies in the 45Hz to 65Hz range, and possibly at a voltage as low as 100V, albeit with reduced speed and power. It will not survive much over 130V AC, so if you plan to use it in areas with 220-240V AC power, plan on using a 240V to 120V transformer or converter.

yes it will although you have to note that the voltage (presuming that you're traveling from US to UK) in UK are 220V. So be careful when using certain electronics.

This motor is for 120 V 60 Hz. You need a different model for your 220 V 50 Hz power

regular houshold 110v to power it. Not sure what voltage the motor is regulated to.

I'm not sure - never used it on anything other than 120V, but my guess is that it would not work or this could also result in damage to the motor.

Check the Fellowes site for product information. The one I recieved only has a standard US plug and operates on a 120V circuit. I do not know if it has a transformer in the motor.

I do not believe this motor has a 110V winding, however, even if it did, it could not be connected to a 110 V outlet unless it had a 30 amp breaker on it. This would require special wiring and a special outlet.
