does my power converter have the correct voltages?
« on: July 14, 2019, 03:19:23 am »
my game console voltage: 100v, 47w, 50/60hz

my brand new power converter: AC 220v, 50w MAX, 50hz

the converter is for 100v game console to be used in local 220v socket here.

i used to have an old one but i threw that one away and bought this new one.

i bought the correct power converter right?

If you think the triac choppers are a POS, it can be worse.  I've seen them simply use a rectifier.   :o
A 3.5 digit 4.5 digit 5 digit 5.5 digit 6.5 digit 7.5 digit DMM is good enough for most people.

Why do they call it a "power" converter? it converts the voltage, not the power.
The PlayStation is labelled NTSC which is the old American type of TV signals. It might not work with a modern American 4k TV nor European or Down Under TV.
