Title: 110 volt chassis replacing a 220 volt one. Post by: Commando on July 26, 2015, 10:09:46 am I bought a replacement chassis for my monitor from the US.
Then I realized it said "110v" on it. I am in Europe and we use 220 volt. Can I just install a step down voltage transformer after the iso-transformer (or instead of)? And then I will be fine? EDIT: Like this one: http://www.highway.net.au/arcade-parts/power-supplies-transformers/volts-volts-stepdown/1800-1.html (http://www.highway.net.au/arcade-parts/power-supplies-transformers/volts-volts-stepdown/1800-1.html) Title: Re: 110 volt chassis replacing a 220 volt one.

Post by: iankellogg on August 11, 2015, 03:53:11 pm I don't believe there is any monitor that has a frequency dependency so 50hz should be okay. The transformer may not be at full rated current at 50hz but if you have a transformer that is like 5VA or more you should be okay.
