I am an artist who has just moved here. I checked almost all of my gear before coming, but decided to bring my own sewing machine at the last minute. I am having trouble finding out where I can get a voltage converter. I am living in Ghent, and would like to get a converter as soon as possible. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Hi Rebecca-

I'm not familiar with Ghent, but converters can generally be found at travel and camping (outdoor) stores. Otherwise, you can buy one pretty cheaply off Amazon UK, and then it will ship directly to you. Also, are you 100 percent sure you need a converter? Where is the sewing machine from? Perhaps you can get by simply using an adaptor (which are more readily available).

The [url=http://www.newsinoenergy.com]12v Inverter[/url] Circuit Diagram provides you with an in-depth overview of how the inverter circuit operates. This inverter circuit is used to power a wide range of devices that can be used in our everyday lives including electric razors, florescent lamps, 12 volt car batteries, and the Hypertherm plasma cutter. This circuit is the basis for most DC to AC power converters which are used in several different applications. Certain devices such as car batteries and solar panels only offer DC (direct current) power, so they cannot power most household appliances which use AC (alternating current) energy. These devices can convert DC to AC and thus make these devices usable.
