120V-240V Transformer Kit

This unit allows a 240 V machine to be operated from a standard 120 V, 15 A outlet. It uses an isolation transformer to step up the voltage and provide a grounded 240 V output suitable for equipment that normally requires 220-240VAC.

Key Specifications

• Input: 120 VAC, 15 A max (standard wall outlet)
• Output: 240 VAC (L1–L2), single-phase
• Maximum output power: ~1.8 kVA (limited by input circuit)
• Typical output current: up to ~7–8 A at 240 V

Features

• Provides 240 V power from a 120 V source
• Grounded output (each leg ~120 V to ground)
• Built-in 15 A circuit breaker on the input
• NEMA 5-15P input plug and NEMA 6-20R output receptacle
• Heavy-duty isolation transformer for stable operation

Intended Use

• For machines that require 240 V line-to-line power only
• Suitable for applications where only a 120 V, 15 A circuit is available
• Ideal for reduced-power operation of larger equipment

Limitations

• Output power is limited by the input circuit; not suitable for full-load 20 A operation at 240 V
• Does not provide a neutral conductor (240 V loads only)

This is a straightforward, plug-and-use solution for running compatible 240 V equipment where only standard 120 V power is available.
