Review: Great for AC - Got this to plug in a 110v ultraviolet bulb in my AC cabinet. It works well and was easy to connect to both the AC line and the ultraviolet fixture.
Review: Product works Very well - Stationed OCONUS this product has helped tremendously running my USA appliances. The product is built tough with a steel covering case. I totally recommended! The description states 2,000 watts but have ran 2,500 watts and had no problems; it's the reason I give the product a ***** 5 Stars!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Are the primary and secondary windings isolated**
A: No, it is not. It is an autotransformer

**Q: Does this transformer work on electronically controlled devices?  And devices that have auto on/off features or are temperature controlled?**
A: Yes, this is basically a step down transformer, this plugs into a 220 or 240 Volt AC outlet and puts out 120 or 110 Volt pure sine wave AC, most things made for that voltage will work just the me same as it did plugged into a 110/120 volt outlet. Note the frequency is still 50 hertz not the normal 60 hertz. A fan will run slower, most modern equipment will not be affected by the frequency difference as they convert the AC voltage to DC and use voltage regulators to make the voltage correct. Make sure you check the wattage on the device you want to use and have room for a startup surge so you don’t blow the fuse when starting a device. If still in doubt google “step down transformers” powering a device like you want to use. Hope this helps.

**Q: Does this transformer have a nrtl listing?**
A: This transformer is CE Certified.

**Q: Can I use this on a deyer?**
A: No, you cannot use it with a dryer.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Inexpensive 3KW step down transformer
*by A***R on December 29, 2018*

It’s a basic step down auto transformer, with no frills, but so far so good. We have a vacation home in Spain, and I wanted an fairly robust step down transformer to use with some of my US voltage power tools and appliances that we brought over. I recently used it for the first time for running a large 110-volt electric slow roaster (1800 watts max) to slow cook a leg of lamb for about 5 hours. I connected it outside in our covered barbecue area, and it seemed to work just fine. It did have a noticeable hum (which is an artifact of the auto transformer design), it did run a bit hot, and after being on continuously for 5+ hours the body of the transformer was hot to the touch - not dangerously hot, but warm enough that I wouldn’t want to leave it plugged in inside my house unattended. I’m a bit more electrically savvy than the common consumer, and I know there’s often truth in the saying “you get what you pay for.” The facts: this unit is mass produced in China, it’s very reasonably priced (1/5 the price of other similar US made step down transformers), and although it’s marked with “CE” labeling as certified for use by the European Union, I’m a bit suspicious if this unit would pass a legitimate CE certification inspection. For my initial use it worked fine. I bought the 3kW unit and it’s heavy (over 30 lbs). I actually took this to Spain before Christmas in my carry-on bag since I wanted to use it to cook our Christmas dinner. I managed to get through 2 TSA screenings and customs inspection in Madrid. They ran it through the x-ray machine a few extra times since it appears as a void (it’s a chunk of iron, after all). I wouldn’t recommend doing this more than once since it’s a beast to lift into an overhead airline storage bin. I gave the unit 4 stars only because of some damage presumably suffered in shipping from the manufacturer. One of the end bell covers, the one with the the US style outlets, was dented in due to contact with something in transit. I didn’t have time to return it for replacement so I just kept it. As in other reviews there are indications that the 110-volt outlet will fail (it’s already loose and coming off.) I plan to open the unit and replace flimsy duplex outlet with a quality US-certified grounded outlet.
