koma Posted April 16, 2006 Posted April 16, 2006 where can i find the above mentioned item n wat do u guys recommend?? such model,price n lastly location to buy it. thanks ;)
bhuv Posted April 16, 2006 Posted April 16, 2006 Sim Lim tower basement costs about $40 for 300 watts. I have one from a company called winstar just remember to 1) get it checked using a voltmeter there and 2) use some other cheap equipment before trusting your panny to it
htfreak Posted April 17, 2006 Posted April 17, 2006 bhuv.. generally do you find the hertz differences affecting the sound output of your panny. Me considering importing in the latest Toshiba HD-DVD player and am also sourcing around for a reliable step-down transformer.

Me considering importing in the latest Toshiba HD-DVD player and am also sourcing around for a reliable step-down transformer. The AC hertz difference does not affect the panny and most other electronic equipments as the power is converted to DC. Unless there's an AC motor in there.... ;D
bhuv Posted April 17, 2006 Posted April 17, 2006 Most electronics we use actually use DC inside instead of AC. Hence there is limited impact of difference in AC frequency
sl6 Posted April 18, 2006 Posted April 18, 2006 Just bought one from SLT basement B1-34, 500w. Model is ST-500, cost me $65. Rather big,heavy and ulgy too...used it for my Panny xr55, so far so good. Still running in the amp, cant comment much on the sound.
khewa Posted April 20, 2006 Posted April 20, 2006 The AC hertz difference does not affect the panny and most other electronic equipments as the power is converted to DC. Unless there's an AC motor in there.... ;D I have an appliance from the US that has an AC motor. What should I use to fix the frequency ? the normal transformer wouldn't work as it doesn't change the frequency.
bhuv Posted April 20, 2006 Posted April 20, 2006 Dont think that there are some simple solutions to change the frequency of power supply. In an AC motor, the speed of the motor would change if you change the frequency of input power. Most AC motors are designed to run at a constant speed which is based on the frequency of input supply. However, if the motor has a speed control, that implies that the motor has a variable frequency power drive. In that case you can play around with speed control till the speed is as required.
petetherock Posted October 31, 2006 Posted October 31, 2006 This is a very usual thread and deserve to be on the FAQ page, cos many brothers buy US products that need transfomers. I am adding to the thread so it appears on the front page again.
