BUYERS GUIDE ON BUYING 5000 WATT STEP DOWN TRANSFORMER

Information may not be reliable

In order to get the best value, you need to consider number of factors before buying a 5000 step down transformer. Don’t just purchase the first product that you see online. Here is a short but useful buyer’s guide to selecting the right 5000 step down transformer for your needs.

What is the total wattage of the appliances you want to plug into the transformer?

Make sure that the 5000-watt step down transformer has enough power to provide all your appliances. To do this, you have to compute the wattage output of all your devices. The easiest way to figure this out is to look at the appliance manual. It will usually show the power used by the product. If the value is not indicated, take a look at the product itself and check the label for voltage and the ampere information.

Always buy transformers that are rated higher than what you need. It’s very important to leave room for power surges during initial starts. You need a transformer with a capacity of two to three times more than the rated power of your television and computer monitors. Are you going to be using the transformer for laser printers, power tools, or ‘heating’ appliances such as microwaves, coffee makers or toasters? Then you need to buy a transformer with 3 to 4 times the power capacity required

What is the operational type of transformer that you need?

There are actually two kinds of transformers in terms of operational type. You can buy transformers for intermittent purposes and for continuous operations. If you require a transformer that works efficiently for long-term usage of appliances, it is recommended that you buy a heavy duty continuous transformer. If your appliances will be subject to start-stop operation, then an intermittent transformer is ideal.

Does it have fuse protection?

Make sure that the 5000-watt step down transformer you are buying has an integrated fuse protection, which is designed to burn in case of overloading to cut off the electrical flow through the transformer. It can also save the appliances and electronics that are hooked up to the transformer from damage.

Does it accommodate two prong (US) and three prong (Euro) plugs?

Choose a transformer that provides sockets for US two-pronged plugs and EU-standard three-pronged connectors.
