What happens here

The voltage transformer can also be used in reverse. If you have a 230V European tool and want to use it in a 110V US outlet, the input voltage switch on the transformer would be set to '110V' (to match the US wall outlet), and the European tool would be plugged into the transformer's 230V output socket. This effectively steps up the voltage from 110V to 230V.

Goal: Learn how to use the same voltage transformer to operate a 230V European tool in a 110V US electrical system by reversing the input and output settings.

um or if you come from europe and you bring a tool that's a 230 volt tool it's just the opposite that 230 volt tool this is what it would look like would i be plugging in to say a usa wall outlet right here and my input i'm going to want to make sure i switch to 110 right here let's switch that to 110 because i'm plugging right into the wall into a 110 outlet now my tool here would be the european style plug right here we would just act like our tool whatever power tool is attached to that and we're going to plug it right into our converter it's plugged in ready to
