Hi folks,
I've got a simple question that's probably very stupid, but I'll ask anyway: I've bought (on the cheap) a couple of basic transformers that were advertised as both 220V-110V and 110V-220V transformers, because I'd like to run some US electrical equipment over here (the Netherlands). These things didn't come with any documentation other than the labels, which proclaim the following:
Primary: 100V Secondary: 240V
50/60 Hz (I'm assuming 50 for the 110, 60 for the 220) 1500 wattsDoes it matter which way 'round these get wired? Because they seem to be set up as step-up transformers for use in the US with 220V equipment. They're very basic steel boxes with stickers and two wires hangin' out the back end, one wired with a US-style grounded plug (need to get rid of that, and replace it with a strip of power sockets), and one
3-conductor wire ready to accept a grounded plug on the other end.Any help for me?
Thanks,
Mattia
