Post subject: Question about voltage transformer 220v-110v Posted: 12 Aug 2017, 13:19 |
|
I bought a laserdisc player from USA and got it home two days ago but I need a transformer for it. I tought that would be easy. I live in Norway and we have 220v (or 240v) and 50hz and I have found som transformers I can buy, but then I figured out that they only convert the volt from 220 to 110 and not the 50hz to 60hz.
I was wondering if that would be a problem for a laserdisc player? I have tried to read some about it and heard some say it will be ok for vcr and dvd-players since it use dc volt or something. But what about laserdisc-players?

Good morning Phonenumber, Lookup ''TASIMO'' Transformers online and they will hopefully be able to assist with your concerns. There are a number of very good Companies out there who are reputable. Please let us all know on this forum how you get on, Kind Regards

A little bit of nitpicking, but the standard in Norway is 230 volt 50 hz and has been that since the 90s. Prior to that, it was 220 volt. If I remember correctly from school, the standard voltage is 120 (and 60 hz) in the US. Not 110 volt, and hasn't been so for quite some time. There are +/- tolerances (10%?), and both voltages are within the acceptable limits. No cause for alarm if you measure the voltage and it isn't exactly at the standard. That is perfectly normal.
Anyhow, as mentioned before, the frequency doesn't matter in this case. A normal 230 to 120 volt transformer will work just fine. Keep in mind that you should get a transformer that can provide at least 25% more watt than what the device draws. If you buy the 100 watt transformer from Clas Ohlson, then you should be fine with more or less all LD players. Depending on how much power the players draw, you could get away with the 50 watt one too.
If you get a HLD-X9 or any of the other high end players that have a bit special power supplies from Japan, then you really should get a 230 to 100 volt transformer. Using US spec transformers seems to be a bit too much on those players. Those are rarely sold around here, so I had to get one custom made.
