How would this work for my 220v/3400W electric cooktop?

The ELC T-5000 is a 5000W transformer. Your appliance needs 3400W. The ELC T-5000 will work fine with your appliance.

I`m also in a 220V country, I bought a 47u/400V capacity and a 300V resistance(this is to protect from surge I think), now it works normally. Remember to test output voltage before powering on vacuum....

This is a 120v, so you would need to have a converter or it wont work or youu will fry it.

110V. It is a pretty good unit. Large stainless skillets are not that easy to find. It is solid, but has problems: the plug-in power/thermostat loosens easily and may need propping or opening to tighten. It doesn't maintain high heat as well as we would like for stir-fry. I think the central thermostat probe is meant to have better contact with the undersurface, but does not.

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

I guess I can answer this 3 ways... (1) It should be a drop-in replacement for existing conventional cooktop; it uses 220V and 40A (or maybe 30A -- check the manual) (2) I'd guess it is slightly more efficient because it doesn't have to heat anything but the pot. There's some inefficiency in the induction mechanism, but I'd guess this is less than the inefficiency of heating the air and whatnot around a conventional electric element. (3) I wouldn't worry about your electric bill. It's not going to be noticeably different than conventional electric, and, even if you are blazing away at 6000 watts (4 burners going full) you are looking at less than $1/hour at the worst of USA electric rates. Do the math on, say, boiling 4 quarts of water and you'll see it's a few pennies.

You will need to order the 220v Vert 400 not just any regular Vert. Sorry, I should have been more clear with my answer.

This 'travel voltage converter' is actually two different converters built into one package. At `LO' setting (0-50W), it uses a small AC transformer to convert 220V sinusoidal waveform into 110V sinusoidal waveform. At `HI' setting (up to 1875 Watt), the converter simply uses an electronic switch to 'chop' the 220V sinusoidal input voltage into smaller segments, such that the average power delivered to output load is reduced. It works reasonably well for simple HEATING appliances, such as travel irons or hair dryers. But if you try to power any electronic appliance that is rated for 110V-only at this setting, the high-voltage stress will likely cause the appliance to break down and burn out within seconds!

You will need to check the max output wattage of each appliance. I run a toaster oven 1150w and a rice cooker 300w at the same time no problem. I would not push it too close to 2000w total however. Also, you may want to upgrade the diameter of the power cables especially since they only give you 3' of #3 wire and you have to connect directly to your battery. I used 8' of 1/0 cable- way overkill but better safe than sorry.

you should be fine, this is rated for 2000watts and your cooker is less at 1600watts. You have 400 spare Watts.

You will need to use a step down transformer such as the ELC T-3000 available on Amazon.com. ELC T-3000 3000-Watt Voltage Converter Transformer - Step Up/Down - 110V/220V - Circuit Breaker Protection This will step down your mains voltage from 220 volts to 110 volts. The fryers wattage rating is 1750 watts so the transformer needs to be rated between 1.5 and 2 times that number which this transformer meets nicely. If you are currently living in Peru or have family living there you might want to check at an electrical supply house or a large appliance dealer to see if this or an equivalent is available in your area.

Haven't tried using both burners yet. The power sharing system makes it sound like you only have half power available when both are used. I have a GE induction cooktop using 220V that has the same limitation.

A good rule for me was always to look for a converter with 50% more Watts as what the device needs max.Manufacturer says, 300 Watt only for short time or it will overheat. At least it has a "Thermal Fuse Protection", but i would not recommend it for a kitchen device (powder, liquid all around).

a small voltage converter/adapter from 220v to 110v is all you need, make sure the power rating is higher than the wattage of the ironhttp://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_ss_c_0_5?url=search-alias%3Delectronics&field-keywords;=220v%20to%20110v%20converter&sprefix;=220v+%2Caps%2C822

Have been using the cook top with 110 power. The one note is that I have placed it on a dedicated circuit. This is probably best since the kitchen uses a lot of appliances at the same time.

It should work. Reuse the cooktop's connecting hardware. Be careful with outer insulating ring as it is fragile.

You will need a converter to ensure proper functioning without ruining your appliance. Check with a certified electrician to see what they recommend.
