    Canon c50xx c52xx 240v conversion to 110v

    Hi Forum members

    Got client who wants to take few canon C50xx & C52xx copiers to Caribbean from UK.
    all UK models are 240v and Caribbean supply 110V

    Anybody got any ideas if the conversion can be done please on the copier ??
    ie maybe 110V power supply?

    any input would be appreciated.

    Many thanks in Advance.

    it won't be as easy just slipping in a 110v lvps... you will have other boards to replace.. I doubt that is will be cost effective

    I agree with Phil B if you try this and guess wrong on what boards you swap you can take out all kinds of things if the wrong voltages go thru the machine, not to mention shipping costs.

    another thing I didn't think about... there may be laws regarding shipment of that product to that area... depending on WHERE it is going to.. your customer would come out better just buying items specifically made for that voltage.

    Is it possible YES
    is it cost effective to do NO
    it would cost way too much to covert the machine
    may be worth checking with client if 220v is available

    Hi Guys thanks for the replies
    I suggested to client step up transformer unit 110v to uk 240v which is sold online.

    Thank you Again

    There are two different types of transformers: "step-up" and "step-down".
    Step-up transformers allow you to plug a higher-voltage device into a lower-voltage power socket (such as using a UK device in the US).
    Step-down transformers allow you to plug a lower-voltage device into a higher-voltage socket (such as using a US device in the UK).
    Some transformers offer both. Take care to use the right type: if you plugged a 110-to-220V step-up transformer into a 220V socket, you would get 440 V and a fried device.
    ��
    You must also make sure that the power rating (wattage) of your transformer is at least 10% greater than that of the device; otherwise, the transformer can overheat and even catch fire.
    Before buying a transformer, look for the "input" figure: usually on the device's plug or in the manual. Some don't display wattage, but you can work it out simply by multiplying the voltage (V) and the current (amps (A); if it is milliamps (mA), divide by 1,000). The resulting figure is the same as the wattage.
    Transformers can be used with both electronic devices (such as those with chips and circuits) or electrical appliances (such as those with heating elements and motors). They can usually operate for a much longer time than converters.
