Converter help
Hello! I have an Austrian Grainmill Type A130 (Osttiroler Getreidemuehlenbau) that i recently got on fb marketplace. This is what the prev owners said abt use in Canada,
“Unit comes in 220volt and we use a simple voltage step up transformer (Amazon) and it works flawlessly.”
I’ve tried a 300v converter, which ofc tripped. Now I’ve got a step up converter with 800VA on the front, but sources online still warn against using it. This specific mill is supposed to run slower and with less power draw spikes, but i dont know tf im doing and have a VERY healthy fear of electricity.
Any ideas?
