If you want to work with 110-volt power tools at home or on the job site, you need a transformer.
What is a transformer?
Transformers, often called “voltage transformers” or “power transformers,” are define as “devices for reducing or increasing the voltage of alternating current.” They are small power supply boxes with a plug and several sockets. They are use to “step up” or “step down” the voltage. For example, if you want to use a 240-volt outlet and a 110-volt power tool, a transformer is used to switch from the 240-volt outlet to the 110-volt power tool. The transformer has a 240-volt plug that can be plugged into a 240-volt outlet. It converts voltage to 110 volts and has multiple 110-volt outlets that can be connected to 110-volt power tools, allowing you to power the tool and get the job done. Transformers often have two or more outlets, allowing you to connect multiple 110-volt power tools at the same time.
Why do I need a transformer?
While many household power tools are 240-volt devices, most professional power tools are 110-volt devices to ensure safety in the workplace, as there is less risk of death if the power cord is cut while working. In the field, the transformer provides two 55-volt phase switches. This means that a 110-volt power tool can be connected to the transformer and if the power cord is accidentally cut, the voltage is halved and the likelihood of fatal electrocution is reduced.
household plugs are 240 volts. 110-volt plugs are not suitable for 240-volt sockets. So, if you want to use 110-volt power tools for DIY work at home, you will need a transformer.
What type of transformer do I need?
Voltage transformers come in different sizes and there are many different outlets. The type of transformer you need depends on the appliances you want to power. If you use small power tools such as drills, saws, and circuit breakers at home, a 3kVA transformer will probably be sufficient. For larger power tools, or for continuous use equipment such as floodlights and heaters, you may need a transformer larger than 5kVA. If you are working on a construction site, you may benefit from a larger 10kVA-20kVA transformer if you need to power a large number of appliances and power tools. It’s a good idea to check the manufacturer’s specifications or ask the retailer where you buy or rent the equipment and which transformer is best for the job.
Here is an example of a 110-volt power tool that requires a transformer for home use.

Lightweight diamond drill
305 mm circular saw
Rental of power tools and transformers
We have a wide range of specialized power tools and other 110-volt equipment available for rent nationwide. Our power tool line includes drills, saws, angle grinders, grinders, and more. We also have a range of portable lights, floodlights, and heaters. Some of our equipment is available in 110 or 240-volt versions. So if you work from home, you can rent the 240-volt version to use at home without the need for a transformer. For safety reasons, we offer RCD breakers for our 240-volt equipment. If you don’t have 240-volt tools and equipment, you can rent the 110-volt version. Just rent a transformer as an accessory and you can use these tools at home without any problems. You can add a transformer to your order when you pay online or order by phone.
