This Transformer will allow your USA device to run on Australian Power.

It changes 240 volts down to 110 volts.

This Step Down is for appliances  2000 watts or less 

Protect your US appliance - buy a step down that is guaranteed safe:

tick.gif Our transformers are made to the highest Quality standards

tick.gif All our stepdowns come with a 1 Year Money back warranty

tick.gif Designed to protect your USA device

tick.gif Unlike others on ebay our step downs are designed to run continuously 24/7 -

      read more about this very important difference.

tick.gif The Tortech difference - the power saving, high efficiency toroidal transformer inside

tick.gif We use two methods of safety protection:  

tick.gif 1. A safety Fuse for short circuit Protection.

tick.gif 2. Thermal overload protection in the winding of the transformer.

tick.gif Strong Carry handle, Quality enclosed metal construction & rubber feet

tick.gif Suitable for USA devices from 110v-120v.
Unit Details:
  • Converts Voltage down from 240 volt to 110/120 volt US 
  • Fully enclosed unit with a white powder coated finish 
  • Fuse protected
  • Auto transformer construction.
  • 2000VA Rating
  • 2 power outlets
  • Part Number sd110-2000A

Frequently asked Questions about the frequency, 110v, hair clippers & more read here

 

If you are unsure about what stepdown you will need please check these questions:
  • What is the  total INPUT watts used by the appliances that is to be connected to the Transformer?Total watts (on the input side)  are less than or equal to the rating of the transformer needed
  • Does your appliance have a motor*?
  • If a motor is included then this increases power usage from the stepdown - so a 25% extra buffer must be added to the watt requirement
  • Does your appliance have a mechanical timing device? If so, how critical is this timing device? If a timing device is included the speed of the device may change due to the frequency change, 60Hz to 50Hz. 
  • If you know  Amps of your device then watts required= Amps x 110v (eg 5Amps x 115 = 575 watts) 
  • Do you wish to use multiple appliances from one stepdown?
  • check total watts of all devices, this must be less than the VA rating of the stepdown & you will need a USA Power board to run multiple devices. (see our ebay store)

If still unsure please send us a message to work out which Step Down you will need

 

Will your stepdowns run 24 hours Continuously?  

Why is this an important  difference between yours and others?

Tortech stepdown transformers are  rated at a continuous rating.

This means the transformers are  designed to run at full rating as designated for a 24 hour continuously. Unlike others we do not deceive customers by  offering a short time rated rating, where  the transformer can not operate for periods longer then an hour  at maximum rating. For Example: A 2000w stepdown that runs for 1 hour at 2000w and then drops to 1400w rating continuous after.

This is a very important difference between Tortech units and we believe it is  false advertising to offer otherwise. 

 All Tortech stepdowns are guaranteed to  run at maximum rate continuously.


All units are thermally tested to comply with Australian Standard AS/NZS61558.

  Tested to work with USA devices:


Qn: Why do your transformers have much more energy efficient idle power (power when not in use) then others?


 Our toroidal based transformers (donut/round shaped) are much more energy efficient over the EI (square transformers) 

 The reason the Tortech range(>100va ratings) has such low idle current and idle watts loss is due to the core construction of the    toroidal transformer magnetic core.  
  

The toroidal transformer uses better quality core steel (grain orientated silicon steel) that has lower losses than conventional EI transformers and the toroid transformer has no air  gaps in the magnetic path of the core  further reducing the losses due to an unimpeded path for the magnetic flux to circulate.

Click here see the energy efficiency ratings calculations of our transformer Idle/no load currents

Qn: Why are your stepdowns much safer then others?

We use 2 methods of protection with our transformers:

1) Our Step Down Transformers use a fuse for short circuit protection and overload current conditions. This is to handle a very large increase in overload current.

2) Thermal over load protection  is the second method of protection with every enclosed transformer. The transformer has incorporated into the primary circuit, a thermal overload switch which monitors the internal temperature of the toroidal transformer. This prevents the transformer from over heating.

Always check the Input Power Rating  on the  label on your USA Product 

Look for  the Watt (W)  and Amp (A) figures.  If you only know the Amps then Amps x 110 = Watts

On Your Dewalt Fast Charger  look  at Amps
