WHAT SIZE transformer & controller ........... ???

[Software Tools]

I found this online 60195 120V with a USA style plug ............ is this the equivalent to the Euro style 50195 220V with the Euro style 2 prong plug ?? (edited)

They have essentially the same ratings as for as the DC side is concerned, and would deliver enough DC energy for a ~5 Amp controller.

However the one with the Us plug is only rated for 110-120V AC input, so may not be a great choice with a 127V AC mains supply. The one with the Euro plug should be OK with a 220V AC mains supply.

Thank you Software Tools ............... I have never understood electricity.
So, if I have a washing machine with a 120V 60Hz motor and plug it in my wall outlet here which has 127V 50Hz ................
will it run faster or slower or will the machine's timer really care ??

I know this is off topic ............ apologies to the Mods.

Thank you. 127V fluctuates so I imagine 220 does too. If you buy a major appliance here, it will not be guaranteed by the store unless you install a transformer upstream.

It depends on a whole bunch of things.... synchronous AC motors are definitely frequency sensitive, but nowadays a lot of rotary appliances use Pulse Width Modulation methods to control DC motors, so it's uncertain where you would end up with a different mains frequency.

Note: The higher the A/C frequency the smaller the capacitor needs to be after being rectified for DC usage.

Thank you Dan .......... I really don't know what that means except capacitors help my large air compressor and 5 HP 220V table saw get started and they don't produce DC ......... just a kinda shot in their rears to get started.
