TC-500A 500 WATTS STEP DOWN TRANSFORMER CE APPROVED AND CERTIFIED.

The TC-500A is a heavy duty continuous use transformer with a maximum capacity of 500 Watts. Sam Stores has provided a fuse for safety purposes so as to avoid fires from short circuits. The front of the unit holds one grounded outlet which allows for 2 or 3 pronged US or Euro plugs. This transformer converts 220/240 volts to 110/120volts thereby allowing for even the barest appliances to be run using this appliance. The unit is hardwired with a European Shucko plug which is also useful with Asian outlets. With an approximate weight of around 8 lbs it is a portable devise.

  You should know that you will never damage your appliance with a higher wattage transformer, however if you buy one that is not powerful enough, it will not work. 

   

  Use Amps to calculate watts

   

  Volts (times) Amps = Watts,
  For Example 110V x 5A = 550W

   

  Remember to leave at least a 100% slack for the transformer. Using them to maximum capacity will eventually burn the transformer out after prolonged use. Some items, such as, laser printers and power tools spike when you turn them on. For these types of situations you need to buy a transformer that is at least 3 times the items capacity.
