dual wattage converter
convertitore di tensione


Explanation:
Spiegazioni: secondo me è sbagliato l'ìnglese, se non c'è altro, perché di tensioni si tratta e quindi i Watt non c'entrano. Sarebbe dovuto essere qualcosa tipo "dual voltage".
Io però in italiano non userei voltaggio ma tensione, che è la corretta grandezza fisica. Proprio come non si userebbe, ad esempio, "metraggio" al posto di distanza o lunghezza di una fune. C'è però anche la possibilità che il convertitore sia dotato di una doppia potenza (allora i Watt c'entrerebbero) oltre alla capacità di convertire da una tensione all'altra. Per cui "dual Wattage" andrebbe tradotto con "a doppia potenza".
