f. When the circuit breaker switch for overload protection is tripped
The 230 volt or 110 volt circuit breaker trips and opens the circuit if the converter is overloaded with
too much power from the connected appliances or if the converter is incorrectly connected to the
power grid.
If this happens separate the converter from the power supply and remove all connected appliances.
Double check if the converter was connected to the power grid via the connection corresponding to
the voltage of the power grid (230 or 110 volts).
Wait a few minutes. Ensure that the voltage converter is turned off. Then re-connect the appliances.
Ensure that the appliances are turned off before you connect them. Ensure that the combined rated
power of all appliances does not exceed the power rating of the converter. Then connect the converter
to the power supply. Switch on the converter and the connected appliances one by one.
c. This voltage converter does not convert the frequency of the entering current
Voltage converters do not convert the frequency (Hertz, Hz) of the electric current. In North
America the frequency of the AC power supply is 60Hz and in Europe it is 50Hz.
For most devices this will not pose a problem, because they will be compatible on both 50 Hz and
60 Hz. For some equipment this can cause changes in running performance or damage to the
equipment. These include, but are not limited to the following: analog clocks, electric typewriters,
large home appliances, microwaves, motorised equipment, power tools, TVs, and record players.
If you have any doubt about the compatibility of your device with a voltage converter, please
contact the device manufacturer.
d. This voltage converter not an isolation transformer
There is no galvanic isolation between the primary circuit and the secondary circuit of this converter.
Therefore, the earth connections of the operated devices must always be connected to the earth
connection of the voltage transformer. This also and especially applies if you connect extension
cables or multiple sockets.
e. Always place the converter in an environment that is:
- Well ventilated.
- Not exposed to direct sunlight or heat sources.
- Out of reach of children.
- Away from water moisture, oil or grease.
- Away from any
fl
ammable substance.
