Help ! 220V to 110V power supply switch?
« on: December 26, 2005, 09:36:28 PM »
Hi -

I bought an Amiga 1200 in an Infinitiv II tower
from EBay.de.  I think the Infinitiv was made
by Micronik? Anyway this unit naturally was  running
220V 60Hz power.  

Every computer power supply I've ever seen has a
switch on the back to switch from 220V 60Hz to 110V 50Hz.
I'm getting cold feet - I just don't want to flick the
switch and blow out the new computer just <>
this will be OK.  Has anybody got any experience with
these power supply units and switching from different
operating currents !

Yup - it "hurts" that USA has the less efficient power source. Thanks for clarification 50 Hurts vs 60 Hurts. I had it backwards.

<< 220-240V, 50Hz = most of the world
110V, 60Hz = US/Japan >>
