2) Which Voltage Converter is right for my device?
You need to know the wattage of your device in order to determine the appropriate voltage converter to purchase.
Now look at the device you going to need the voltage converter for, look for the W or watts to get this information. Always, buy a voltage converter with a wattage rating that is two to three times higher than the device you plan to operate in order to safely convert, we always say to buy higher then your item because voltage converter is heat item you want it to be cool when they are on so more the power converter will stay cool.
For example, if your device or appliance is 500W, get a converter or transformer that is 1000W.
