Powering Triton with 230V / 50Hz

tripecac · Post by **tripecac** » Mon Aug 24, 2009 12:39 pm

Hi, I have a Triton (classic) which I've been using in the US.

In a couple months, I'll be moving to a country which uses different power: 230V / 50Hz (instead of the US's 110V / 60Hz).

Do you think a voltage transformer is all I need? Or will the difference in Hz throw off the Triton's timing? Has anyone done this before?

Thanks!

Okay, so the Triton Classic is auto-switching, which means I don't need to do anything other than convert the plug (and cross my fingers)?

Yes, that is correct.

ours is 220v and the triton just works fine.
just bought a plug adaptor to fit the electrical socket.

Are you on 50Hz (instead of 60Hz in the US) as well?

No, we are on 60Hz.

That's 220V 60Hz, but still, the TRITON works fine.

I am in NZ now, and ready to turn on my Triton. The voltage here is 230V / 50Hz.

I still haven't found any documentation which states that the Triton supports voltages from 110V to 240V. Do you know where I can find some?

Are you sure it will work when I turn it on? Or will it spark and die?

For me it worked flawlessly - We have 230V circuit here in Czech Republic and Slovakia - i just bought and adapter so that the triton plug could fit in.

Thanks! I turned it on and so far so good.
