TriGear TG 1000W 1000 Watt Step Up Down Voltage Transformer Converter AC 110/220 V or 110/220 Volt

TriGear series step up/down voltage transformer supplies a safe, reliable, inexpensive, and convenient solution for voltage conversions. The transformer allows conversions from 110-120 volt up to 220-240 volt or from 220-240 down to 110-120 volt. This modification is applicable towards both home use and industrial applications. Rated at a maximum of 1000 watts, the TriGear TG-1000W features a heavy duty cord with a standard U.S. 3 prong plug. This package includes a free American to German outlet plug adapter. This unit features a total of 2 outputs on the front panel. The outputs are grounded with 1 designated for 110-120 volt on a universal outlet and the other supporting 220-240 volt with a universal outlet. These outputs can be used simultaneously and continuously. It's recommended that your voltage transformer's wattage be 50-100% greater than your appliance's wattage. Items such as TVs, power tools, and microwave ovens require up to 3 times the wattage displayed. This requirement is due to the power surge that occurs when the appliance is first turned on. If your equipment's wattage is not available, then you can still figure out the power rating you need by calculating your appliance's actual wattage using the following formula. Note: You will need your equipment's amperage and voltage ratings to calculate the wattage: Volts(V) x Amp(A) = Watts(W). For example: 120V x 1.5A = 180W, therefore recommending a 270W-360W transformer, unless the equipment is a TV, power tool, or microwave oven which recommends 3 times the wattage displayed on the appliance.
