With a Step Down transformer. But you will probably have a hard time finding a 240 volt unit. 120 volts units are readily available.

It depends on how big of a transformer that you are looking for. There are many control Transformers in the 50 to 500 VA range that have dual primary and dual secondary. The primary side can be connected to 240 volt or 120 volt and the secondary can be connected for either 12 or 24 volts.

Changing from one voltage to another is quite simple... if you have AC. This conversion is done with a transformer. In the situation described, where you start by DC, you need to convert from DC to AC first, so that you can use a transformer. A device which does this is called a "power inverter" or simply an "inverter". The Wikipedia article on "Power inverter" explains some ways such a circuit can be designed.

You would need a transformer specially made to do this. Of course, this transformer would need a rectifier, as I am assuming that you need 12 volts DC.

That is called an inverter.


How Convert 200 volt to 230 volt?

If a precision voltage is needed from 200 to 230 an auto transformer could be used. If the load is a 230 volt motor to be operated on 200 then add 15% to the nameplate full load amperage for the calculation for overload protection.


You have 240v and you need to convert to 230v for an air compressor?

Yes, you can use a 230 volt device on a 240 volt supply.


Can you safely touch a 12 V or a 230 V electric supply?

A 12 volt battery will not hurt you BUT any POWER supply (especially a 230 Volt one) has the potential to harm you.


How do you convert 115 volt into 230 volt?

The only way to do that is with a transformer. They make inline transformers that convert 230 to 115 and they simply plug in inline.


How do you convert 12 volt 10 amps dc relay to 230 volt ac relay?

Unless otherwise specified, all a.c. voltages and currents are expressed in root-mean-square (rms) values. An rms value is exactly equivalent to a corresponding d.c. value. So, 230 V a.c. is exactly equivalent to 230 V d.c., and 10 A a.c. is exactly equivalent to 10 A d.c.Incidentally, the symbol for volt is 'V' (not 'v') and the symbol for ampere is 'A' (not 'a').

Converting 9 volts to 230 volts would require a pretty hardcore step up transformer (Expensive) and you probably wouldn't have enough current to sustain the load.See discussion page for more information.
