PowerXchanger voltage and frequency converters are available in a variety of sizes and capacities. All Step-Down Models convert 200 V-240 V 50 Hz to 120 V 60 Hz using advanced electronic components and without the use of heavy copper wiring.

You can compare the features and specs of our different step-down converters on this comparison page.

Aside from aesthetics, size, and installation options, the main difference between the Deluxe series, Slimline series, and Economy series is fan noise. The Deluxe and Slimline series are all noise free and have sealed electronics - there are no internal fans. Cooling is done with natural ventilation through the heatsinks.

On the Deluxe series there are two fans on the back, but these turn on when the unit is in distress due to overload, or excessive heat due to lack of adequate ventilation. The Deluxe and Slimline Series also come with a wall mounting kit which allows for more flexible installation options.

An additional accessory for the Deluxe Series is an Xchange Outlet which can also be wall mounted.

The Economy Series has selectable output voltage. Choose between output 100V 60Hz, 110V 60Hz, 115V 60Hz, and 120V 60Hz.

Our most powerful unit is the EX-21, it has a capacity of 2340W and max output current of 21.8 amp

Economy Series has CE mark and certification. The Deluxe and Slimline series have UL, CE, DEMKO-CB, and TUV.

There is a way to operate the Economy Series noise free, by installing the units in a different room and wire the output 120 Volts 60Hz to the point of use, using our Remote Installation Kit. These kits are also compatible with the Deluxe Series.

PowerXchanger Deluxe Series 220V 50Hz to 120V 60Hz
PowerXchanger Economy Series 220V 50Hz to 120V 60Hz
PowerXchanger Slimline Series 220V 50Hz to 120V 60Hz
