Does anyone know an online store that sells a 220v to 110v transformer? I need it to be at least 2000W. I checked local Home Pro in Chiangrai

but they only had small ones.

Better in the Electrical forum.

In Chiang Mai there's a chain of electrical stores called Amorn and they carry what you need, here's their web site, maybe a start for what you're looking for:

A second option for you, supplied by Capt. Rob, is this BKK based electrical supply company:

A third option, based in Singapore but online, is:

That size they will be a bit heavy. Look for electrical contracting supply shop. Here in Phuket KeeHin is the boss and they are very good, have quite a few converters and inverters.

Sp27,

I also needed a big converter for my tablesaw which came from the US.We brought in the motor to get it rewired to 220volt but no can do we were told.

Finally i looked at the motor myself because it did say dual voltage 110/230,changed the wiring according to schedule and it works fine.

Just saying ,could the same be possible in your case?Now i have a big old converted sitting here(build in 1975) and i did not need to spend that money.

A wise man can learn from another mans mistake!

I had a converter that I bought in the US last time I was there but yesterday it just stopped working after a year or so of use. I use it for a Vitamix blender and Kcup coffee brewer. I don't know anything about electrical to be wiring stuff on my own...

Does it have a fuse or cut-out?

Check them first.

Well today I got home and tried using my transformer and it works fine. No idea how or why, or if it's going to keep working since I didn't

do anything to it. As I mentioned I don't know anything about electrical but I'm guessing some sort of bad connection??

I too brought a large table saw from the USA. The directions said that it could be very simply converted from 120 V to 220 V it works just fine .

I think it was made by the Grizzly company, Chinese

Had you been using it for a while when it stopped? Many of these units have thermal cut-out to stop them overheating.

i bought one @ "the games never dry" which is a game shop in phuket that target tourists.
