Smee Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 I am looking for a 220v to 110v 1500 watt step down transformer in Bangkok - anyone have any idea where I might find one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crossy Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 Amorn are worth a look (Fortune and Old Siam) but HomePro and many mom-and-pop electrical outlets should be able to help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
h90 Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 If ever someone need one, I have a large 3 phase...it is 400 kg heavy. Don't really have an application for it at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smee Posted October 17, 2014 Author Share Posted October 17, 2014 Thanks Crossy but I have already tried Amorn home pro and several other major electrical suppliers and mom and pop outlets between bang NA and bang Phli and the largest capacity is 500 watts - I need 1500 watts.., 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CharlieH Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 Might be an idea to ask in bangkok forum for local knowledge MOVED Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smee Posted October 17, 2014 Author Share Posted October 17, 2014 H90 thanks but we have single phase Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
h90 Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 H90 thanks but we have single phase It might can do single phase (or might not??) But it is really a monster. I forgot the value, but I think something like 15000 Watt. You can run a CNC lathe on it. So surely not a good idea for you unless you import half a workshop from USA. What do you need it for? Some things are dual 110-220, or the power supply can be switched. In some cases the motor can be changed (like on scuba compressor), but it than runs 20 % slower (which can be an advantage or disadvantage). And ebay has the parts.... Some cheapo kitchen equipment is cheaper to buy new than buying a converter..... Else my first idea would be Amorn and ask them if a other branch has it maybe.....chance of meaningful answer is 50%.

Smee Posted October 17, 2014 Author Share Posted October 17, 2014 It's to powe a 110v panini press I bought on Amazon and shipped from US - it is oy 110 no 220 option as I discovered when I unpacked it. I was thinking perhaps a UPS eTwd at 1500 or higher with a 110 outlet option may eork Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crossy Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 You may be able to have the press re-wired to 220V as it's a resistive load, with luck top and bottom heaters are 110V each, wire in series and it's 220V You won't find a 220 / 115 UPS at less than the cost of a suitable transformer (if at all).

attrayant Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 I bought a 3 kW step-down at NPE which has locations in Rangsit (Zeer) and Bahn Moh. I am pretty sure they had smaller sizes but don't remember if they had 1.5 kW exactly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smee Posted October 18, 2014 Author Share Posted October 18, 2014 To all who responded with suggestions and comments thanks very much. I finally found one 2000kva (1500 watt) transformer at HomePro in Mega. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
attrayant Posted October 18, 2014 Share Posted October 18, 2014 I see you've found it but since I'm at NPE now I figured I'd follow up. 1 kW is 1300 baht and 2 kW is 1900 baht. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lopburi3 Posted October 18, 2014 Share Posted October 18, 2014 He really did not need a transformer for a resistance load as heating is. But do not know if these units are available here - easy to find in US for $10 or so. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Foreign-travel-converter-1600-W-watt-av-voltage-step-down-power-adapter-220-110-/131182586104?pt=Travel_Adapters_Converters&hash=item1e8b1768f8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
masuk Posted October 19, 2014 Share Posted October 19, 2014 Amorn are worth a look (Fortune and Old Siam) but HomePro and many mom-and-pop electrical outlets should be able to help. I was at Amorn yesterday and they have 3 or 4 different capacity step-downs, all around 1500 baht and a bit more. Also a heavy duty one plus a step-up one.
