you're gonna love this one. i have a piece of equipment i will be shipping to china that i want to test before i ship it over. it has a <gasp!> electric motor! so i need some kind of transformer/inverter setup that plugs into red blooded american 115v/60hz and can handle Power requirement: 1.5 kW Voltage requirement: 220 V Frequency: 50/60 Hz Current requirement: 10 A
there's at least 4 ways to do it:[1] its easy enough in Australia to get '240V/50Hz -> 110V/60Hz' transformers. i would imagine you could probably find the same thing in USA without too much
difficulty.[2] on this side of the planet, its pretty easy to get hold of small portable diesel
generators that can output 1500W @ 240V.[3] there's certainly inverters that'll convert -48DC to 240V/50Hz. a couple of
car batteries or your favourite telco DC rail would do nicely. [4] besides USA and Japan, just about everywhere else in the world uses240V AC. sounds like an excuse for a European or Australian holiday to me ...
cheers, lincoln.
