Common FAQs 

Why do I need a step-down transformer in Kenya?

Kenya uses 220–240V, while many imported devices use 110–120V. Without a transformer, your device can be damaged instantly.

How do I choose the correct wattage?

Choose a transformer 20–50% higher than your appliance. For motor devices, go 3–4× higher.

Can one transformer run multiple devices?

Yes if the total wattage does not exceed capacity.

Do I need a transformer for dual-voltage devices?

No. Devices labeled 100–240V work without a transformer.
