1000 Watt Transformer Adapter 110 220 Converter up/down - eBay (item 120408919414 end time May-19-09 15:53:28 PDT)


when i lived in germany we used to use these to convert their 220 to 110 for our appliances.
this one converts up or down. i was thinking about using it in my garage which only has
110 for my welder.

 

its just a step up/step down transformer. Nothing special. Just be careful because current on 110 is about 8A and 220 is about 4A. Thats not a whole lot of juice for a welder.

 

yes i know its JUST a step up/down converter.

im just wondering if anyone has tried these for welders.
current and amperes are my concern. just like you said.
i wanna make sure that it can support a welder.

 

1000watts max output is all this is rated for, so no you should not try to run a welder off it, it will burn up. Depending on your welder, you will need anywhere from 30amps to 100a to run your welder. This thing wouldnt run a 1500watt hair dryer....

 

waste of money, i bought something similar and it was crap

 

oh. ok thanks everybody for the replies

 

no good just run a 220 outta the box
