110 volt compared to 220 volt by: Anonymous
If bringing a computer from the USA where electricity is 110 volts; what is required to plug in computer in Philippines, where I believe electric is 210-220 volts?
Answer:
Hi,
You will need a step up transformer. My suggestion to you is to just purchase a unit here locally.
They are not that expensive and will save you the trouble of lugging a ?box? thousands of miles around.
