Voltage Transformers

In order to switch on electrical equipment we need the mains supply which either provides us with an output of 110 Volts or 220 Volts of Alternating Current (AC). The question here is what the compatible voltage for the equipment is. If you find that your supply is 110 Volts and the equipment requires 220 Volts AC, you need a step-up voltage transformer to run that equipment. If it is the other way round, a setp-down voltage transformer would be required.
