Weller WE1010 Soldering Station - 230V compatibility

I would like to buy this soldering station to be used in Ireland where the voltage is 230V. With a plug adapter will this work?

Hi PC_Dev.

It looks like we carry the 120 volt only version of this product so a simple plug adapter will not work and would ruin the station if plugged into 230 volts. What you will need is a 240 volt to 120 volt (100 watt or larger) step down transformer to be able to use this station on 230 volts.

Sadly we do not carry one, but a transformer like [one of these would work if you still wanted the 120 volt version.

Rather than buy a station and a transformer to change the voltage, it might be more economical for you to find the 230 volt version at another retailer. We would love to make a sale, but I think it’s in your best interests to find a unit made for your power supply voltage. :-)](Amazon.com: Simran THG-100T Step Up & Down Voltage Transformer Converter for 110V & 220/240V, 100 Watt : Electronics)
