Electricity in the basement of the block of flats. Unknown tension.

Hello, maybe someone from the readers will suggest whether the voltage converter (transformer) 110 / 230v will help in obtaining current that can be connected to devices such as a drill, grinder, etc. in the basement in the block. Currently, there is only light, and a regular 100w incandescent bulb is half as bright. energy efficient normally after warming up for a few seconds. The mini tower plays normally. Does it remain to move the workshop home, or is there another option
Greetings.

Get along with the administration and install a sub-meter, or supply power from your own meter. You need to measure this workshop.

Without measuring, it is impossible to determine the voltage in the installation. This should be measured with a voltmeter.
Is the installation connected to your meter or is it shared with the corridors. If shared, then you should not use electricity for industrial (illegal) purposes, then it is best to apply for an energy sub-meter and a separate connection to your basement, or to run the installation from your apartment meter to the basement (with the consent of the cooperative).

Apart from the legal aspects, as long as there is alternating voltage, a transformer changing the voltage from current to 230V is enough. To determine what the transformer should be, it is necessary to measure the current voltage.
There is also the issue that the installation may not be adapted to high power consumption (protection may work)

And when the waveform is cut with a diode, will you transform direct current?

Buddy, what are you writing about? Did you read and understand the author's post? If not, go back to the beginning.

Someone, something, did and modernized the installation. And please stop advising the layman how to steal electricity.

After all, I wrote that the transformer can only be used for alternating current, i.e. a full 50Hz sinusoid. As for theft, I also informed that drawing electricity outside the meter is a prohibited act and I have given alternative routes. So what's going on?

Thanks for the comments. Unfortunately, I do not fully understand the professional ones. It is interesting to turn on the transformer around 2000. However, I can see from the statement that without detailed measurements it may not come out. For clarification, I have no business and using electricity once a month would be convenient in the basement, Why dust in the apartment. And a different work atmosphere. The whole installation was created because of the theft. And DIY enthusiasts, maybe we can connect the tools to the battery. Or let's replace the equipment with a battery.
Greetings.

The answer was at the beginning of the thread. I close.
