I want to build a 110v power source for my XBox which was purchased in the US. I have a few basic questions about building such power supplies, and it would be great if someone here can help me out:
1. Should I use just a 220v to 110v step-down transformer without any other circuit? For example, something for over-voltage protection, etc.
2. Do I need to convert from 50Hz to 60Hz or would it work fine as is?
3. Can someone suggest a good transformer brand that I can buy? The XBox manual says it needs a power adapter of 175W. What rating transformer should I buy (will 2A be sufficient)?
Please let me know. thanks!
