Voltage Converter

[robinsslee]

Hi TPers, does anybody here are electrician by-trade that can advise as per the title, please? My friend has brought this food processor from the US over to the UK and it has a different type of socket. The sticker on the machine says 120V - 60Hz 8A. We need to know which type of Voltage converter to buy that suits this machine.

Thanks in advance.

Check the wattage on it and pick the one that suits best.

120V x 8A = 960W

The link below gives some useful info about the effect dropping the frequency can have on electric motors even when the voltage is corrected.
