Foreign Travel voltage converter (1500Watts 220V to 120V)
Hi all fellow techs!!
I wonder what they put in those very small devices.It is certainly not a real power transformer. Low power devices (50W) contain an autotransformer.(I took one apart) I think it might be some kind of dimmer (good only for resistive loads). Has anyone taken one of those gadgets apart?? Many thanks for your feedback. Jacques |
