I just bought an expander from EBay, and it is coming from Canada...
I was curious and anxious of what currency converters will I need to use it in our power supply system...
Anyone faced this prob? or any ideas..?

What's an expander?

well, i know that the voltage in the US (canada?) is 110V-120V,
and in Europe and Asia, it's 220V-230V.... Double check in your place...but i'm pretty sure it's 220V....
Now, see if the 'expander' you bought has an option to switch to 220V.... for ex. on my computer, i have the option to switch between 110 and 220...( u know, that small little red tab on the back)

if you don't have that option, you need to buy a transformer...to change the 220V to 110V.....

:)

first of all, an expander is a unit used for music production :)

currency there is 110-120 and here in Greece is 220.
In case there is not a switch, do you have any info on where to buy a transformer online?
Tranex02
well, i found some transformers online...but i wouldn't buy one online cuz i'm not an expert on transformers and i wouln't want to buy something that isn't Exactly what i need.... personally, i recommend going to your local market, downtown, wherever you can buy electrical stuff.
