![]() At some point Butler started using a toroid transformer that runs from 120-240VAC which works with either mains power. Butler has been making since 2005 could be ordered with either voltage, so be sure you are buying a Tube Driver with the correct voltage for your country. Or, have the transformer inside replaced with one that works with the mains voltage of your country. To run a 220-240V Tube Driver on 110-120V mains power, use a step-down voltage converter. To run a 110-120V Tube Driver on 220-240V mains power, use a step-up voltage converter. Conversely, if you plug a Tube Driver with a 220-240V transformer meant for the Eurpoean market into a 110-120v outlet, it will only draw 1/4 the power it needs and may not function properly. It will draw 4x the power it needs, causing it to overheat and damage the circuit. DO NOT plug a Tube Driver made with a 110-120V transformer into a 220-240V power outlet. Later some Tube Drivers and Real Tubes were made for the European market with transformers that ran on 220-240VAC. The original Tube Drivers were made with transformers that run on 110-120VAC for the North American market. ![]() TUBE DRIVER POWER REQUIREMENTS - Most Tube Drivers have an internal transformer that works with the mains voltage of the country it was made for.
