Hello members, I recently bought a refrigerator 8 cubic feet in Europe and need to know how much watts should be transformer to work well with mi frid

We returned this jtem because it did not change the voltage as needed by my coffee maker

Look at how much wattage each appliance takes (should be printed on a plate in amps or watts. watts is amps times volts) If it falls within the max. Watage the generator can handle you should be fine. keep in mind that modern fridge and freezer compressors can only handle a 5% voltage diferance, that is why I'm looking for a device to smooth out the surge and ebb of this generator. Not sure if this generator is within that tolerance.

you need to call the manufacturer for that information. A lot of small appliances need a transformer to work, otherwise the 220 V will fry the circuitry

Hi, this is a 1500 watt generator. You need to look at the wattage of your refrigerator and make sure. I think most refrigerators run at about 700 watts but not. If that is true then this generator would work fine. But you need to make sure. There is a plate inside or outside your refrigerator that will tell you the wattage that it uses.

YOu really should use a 2500W model. The recommended power of the transformer should be 1.5 time the wattage of the appliance. Be careful with these transformers as they are wired incorrectly and could be dangerous if a fault occurs in your appliance. The manufacturers have wired the fuse and switch onto the neutral wire instead of the live wire. This means if the fuse blows due to a fault, the appliance plugged into it will still be live. The manufacturer also states that these are CE approved. There is now way they would be CE approved with this wiring. I am guessing that this is a false declaration of approval printed on the units by the Chinese manufacturer so as to look the part. YOu really should use a 2500W model.

You don't need a transformer if your compressor specifications are 120 V and 1 Amp. You can plug it to a wall plug and it should work. But if the AC plug on the wall is 220v and you need to use the down converter to make your compressor work at 120 volts then You need to use the electrical formula which is P = E x I. P is the Power in Watts, E is the voltage of 110 Volts I is the current of 1 Amp. so P is = to 110 Volts to 120 Volts x by 1 Amp which is equal to Approximately 120 Watts. So if you buy a 300 Watts transformer it should be enough. Now you could also use the 500 watts if you are using your compressor for long hours to minimize the overheating of the transformer.

Hi Liza. Do you feel comfortable using a transformer? If you do, then yes, it could be used in Europe. I know people who have used their KitchenAid products in Europe. Enjoy!

The transformation ratio is 220/110 = 2 or 240/120 = 2. If your voltage is 230 V, then on the low voltage side you will get 230/2 = 115 V. Most appliances have some tolerance to the input voltage e.g. +- 5%. I would check first the label of the appliance, and if 115 V is within that range, it is safe to use this transformer.

I have a full-size modern refrigerator that only use about 150w. It's low-wattage but it runs almost continuously most of the day especially on the weekends when the doors are constantly being opened and closed. I think the compressor doesn't run as much during night time when the internal temperature gets cold enough. My smaller fridge (4.4 cu ft) only use about 80w. There's no doubt in my mind that this inverter could handle modern refrigerators. The real question is, will your battery last long enough.

That depends on how many watts it draws at a peak load (usually at start up). A good rule is don't exceed 80% of the max wattage of the transformer. In this case that would be 800 Watts. If you don't know the wattage then it should tell you the max amperage draw. Multiply this by 220 volts and that will tell you the wattage.

My transformer says "44 watts" on the label, so I think the picture is wrong. But I'm sure they'd sell you an 88W model (!)

My application is for a commercial kitchen to power a Euro 220v/50hz pressure fryer. We have been using this transform for nearly 1 year without issue. It is powered on 12 to 15 hours a day. Overall the product has been dependable under the load we've placed onto it (approx bust of 4kw).Keep in mind that I am powering it with a US 240v line not 110v. In addition to the Euro Fryer, I am also plugging in a 5-15 110v stream tray. The transformer is handling the load without issue.

Ok, just have the original one under my eyes.brand is EVER GLOW.CLASS 2 TRANSFORMERMODEL NO: DCU130060INPUT: 120VAC 60Hz 15WOUTPUT: 13VDC 600mAPS: I used it in France, forgot it could not support 220/230 volts, and it just burnt, so I have to buy another one, but it works perfectly fine in North America.

Very simple-plug in transformer into wall socket (the plug has two rounded prongs -may need an adapter to fit, I'm not sure what types of wall outlets are in Switzerland). Then just plug US 3 pronged cord into the 110 V outlet on transformer. This transformer is rated for 1000 Watts, so you should be fine at only 410 Watts.

Sorry I don't know much about the technical specifications. I bought it for an appliance that I bought in China and it needs 220 V so I bought this transformer. It has been working fine so far.

The 1863watt appliance is under 2000watt. But that's under normal operation. Instant wattage could be much higher especially when turning on the appliance. It is recommended to have the transformer at least 50% higher than the wattage of the normal operation load. So you should have at least 2500watt transformer. Or 3000watt one to be safe.

it depends how many watts you need. If your item needs a power less than 300 or 400 Watt the transformer will be enough
