| Best step down transformer? OK, this is a question thats probably more suited to a console forum, but I thought I'd try here anyway... I'm looking for a step down transformer that outputs 100v 50/60Hz AC so I can use my import hardware. The hardware is Japanese so it has to be 100v and *NOT* 110v like all U.S. ones are. Also needs to be at least 50 W / VA capacity. Any links / recommendations? |

 | You do realise that the Japanese products can probably handle 110V AC? - also bear in mind that's the average - it is the very nature of AC that the voltage is constantaly changing. Still, I've never tried it - so don't take my advice on its own. |

| Thanks for the info; I am aware that I can likely run them at 110v, however, I'd prefer to run them at something closer to their native voltage... I do have a 100v transformer already, but its only a measly 20w... ♪～（￣ε￣；） （/゜ー゜）ノ ((((((●～* |

| dont run anything like that on a stepdown transformer. bought a ps1 in america ages ago stick it on a stepdown transformer at 110v (tested it first to check it was 110v) and it blew straight away.  |

| AFAIK, a SDT is one of the only ways I can do it; is there another way? The only suitable thing I've found so far is this: http://www.swallow.co.jp/info/new00e.htm And thats likely to be a bit pricey getting it exported from Japan, even though I have friends living there...  ♪～（￣ε￣；） （/゜ー゜）ノ ((((((●～* |
