[Elecraft] Weller soldering iron station and auto-transformer

[Peppino Berria]

My K2-kit arrival is announced, so I'm checking all
that I need for building it. I've a WESD51 soldering
station that I bought during my journey in Texas: 120
V. 60 Hz, different than voltage we have here in
Italy, 220 V. 50 Hz. I'm thinking to use an
auto-trasformer that I've in the shack for reduceing
voltage: in-220 V, out-110 V. Anybody could tell me if
it may be any problem? What about the "earth" on the
line that's relationed to the potential 220 Volt? Is
110 V. too low for powering my WESD51? Thanks for
reading me. 73, Peppino IS0YPS
