You can get 220V in the DR
Hi,
I have a little experience in this
Almost everywhere you can get 220 V 60 HZ. Which means that a lot of things will work:
-coffemakers, anything that depends on making something hot etc Yes:
-clocks: questionable, because frequency is off
-radio, computers: yes
-tv. video: depending if you bought a "multisystem" --> because of the difference between ntsc ad pal or secam.
-powertools--> most probably yes.
furthermore: in a lot of places the voltage drops below what it should be.
people then make "reductor" to ramp up (e.g. from 90 to 110) or down
e.g. from (180 to 110) the voltage.
This seems a good hack but because these are mostly "transformers" and not electronic voltage regulaters everything is off again if the voltage "coming from the street" is not stable.
there are however solutions...
