[QUOTE="JBredene, post: 834275, member: 19964"] Step up and step down ac transformers are just two coils of wire around a common core, no extra components .. so very simple in its operation and function. To sum up what has been said: - the transformer must be of sufficient capacity (big enough) to meet the requirements of the equipment that it drives. I've used step-up transformers and they work perfectly fine. The potential problem is that someone in the future forgets and plugs the 110-115 vac item into our 230-240 vac supply... PS - re-selling 110 vac units are also problematic. [/QUOTE]
