220 to 110 Converter is here to bring to you the best in value and performance in 220V to 110V voltage converters. These converters are also referred to as step down converters because they decrease the voltage to the appliance you want to use. They allow you to use USA products in such places as Europe and the UK. To choose a suitable voltage converter you first need to check the kind of socket that you are going to plug it into. European plugs and sockets are different to those found in the UK. You then need to know the power consumption of the appliance or appliances that you want to use. You can find this in printed in Watts either on the back of the appliance or in the product manual. You should make sure that your converter will supply more Watts than the things you want to plug into it. If the wattage of the converter is too small you may end up with the converter fuse blowing or the converter overheating. You should try to make sure the converter delivers twice the power used by your appliances. For televisions the power should be 5 times the wattage of the TV. For heating appliances, laser printers and power tools you need to have a converter that is at least 3 times the items capacity to cope with the power spike when you turn it on. All you have to do now is choose a 220 to 110 converter
