Best transformers to get are from Japan itself. I have several 220-240 v to 100 V directly from Japan. All work great and are solidly build. I can’t find any proper 100v step down here in Europe. Only 110V ones for US devices and I do not want to use those.
Do you have any particular brand you would recommend? I am not opposed to getting one from Japan. Looking at all options and weighing them.
Yeah the best stuff is Japanese but it can also be expensive. Worth it though.
I do have an old cheaper step-down here... bear in mind I'm in Australia so this converts from our mains power.
Also this is for powering smaller stuff like game consoles etc. 65w max.
Minwa MW65U
It's an older Hong Kong build, I guess from the early 90's maybe? Small but heavy for the size. Has fuse panel for easy access and another holder in there for a spare fuse.
Never had any issues running Japanese equipment with this, for decades.
I guess there should be a US equivalent of this and some places will sell refurbished old electronics.
Anyway, specs of my unit:
Input: 220/240v 65w 50Hz
Output: 110/120v 60Hz (for equipment up to 65w)
