Hello poeple,
I have a question about transformers and any help would be appreciated.
I have AV Receiver that works on 110V and I have 220V in my house. I was told to get a step-down transformer to bring 220V to 110V and thats all right.
The question is which kind of transformer? I have heard about toroidal, R-core,C-core and laminated etc., but also heard that each has a different kind of disadvantage.
They say toroidal ones are sensitive and pull high-current at start-up. They say laminated ones are inefficient in comparison and are heavy...I'm lost here.
Thanks for any help.
