What should I use to protect my electrical appliances in a developing country?
Sunday, March 1st, 2009
cant figure it out asked:
I am in Ecuador, with American appliances. Current here is 110v like in the US. I don’t know if I should use a surge protector or a voltage regulator. Electricity here goes on and off regularly and several people have had small heating appliances (coffee makers, hair dryers, etc.) break down… I have an expensive espresso machine and would die if it broke down!
