Following my question asking whether it was OK to post a small personal ad, here it is:
for sale, portable isolating transformer, 500VA, 240V in via 13A plug,
110V out via one BS4343 (yellow) industrial socket. Matching BS4343 plug thrown in. RS part number 207-605.Rated at 500VA continuous, 750VA intermittent. Useful for 110V power tools, running 110V equipment (imported from USA), etc.
Picture here:
The unit I have for sale is about half the height of the one pictured on the right above, but is otherwise identical.
From the maker's blurb:
"High quality rugged portable safety isolating transformers designed to ensure safe site electrics for Power Tools and Lighting etc. Double wound with safety earth screen between windings."
"110V secondaries centre tapped to earth to minimise shock risk" "All insulated yellow splashproof GRP enclosure" "Thermal safety overload fuse embedded into primary winding" "Approx. 2 metres mains cable fitted with 13A plug" "High quality manufacturing and testing in accordance to EN60 742 BS3535"
Selling at RS for £58+VAT, asking ukp20. Due to weight, would prefer not to ship but will if asked (buyer pays.)
