Isolation Transformer 115<=>230 ?

Hi
normaly i was asked, but now i have to ask because i definitly don't know, and i never had one in my hand, and i also can't read out of the manual.

Is the Isolation Transformer only isolating between same Voltage or do the transformer can also do an Transformation between 115 => 230 and 230 =>115. In manual is just written about auto switching and output and input 115 "or" 230, but it doesn't explain if the "or" in Datasheet is depending or independing to supply Voltage.

Best regards

peter

I am a professional operating manual reader ;o)

These transformers can be used as: 115V to 115V isolation transformer 230V to 230V isolation transformer 115V to 230V isolation transformer 230V to 115V isolation transformer

It is the last sentence in the manual.

Now i saw the irritiation problem, we read the German translation, and that one ist wrong in manual in compare to the english


in english is correctly written 115 "to" 230.. thats a clear meaning
in german there is has been written 115 "bis" 230 ...and "bis" in that situation, doesn't clears the situation and is confusing, correct it has to be called 115 "zu" 230

Hi,

So did you use it meanwhile with 115v to 230v?

The manuel says YES, but I was told it is not working...

I am very interested, because we need to use both voltage on our journey (truck ) to feed our 230v Multiplus without changing anything.


Best wishes

Piet

I understand that the isolation transformer can convert the voltages, but does it also alter the frequency? For example 230V (50Hz) to 120V (60Hz)? This one is important because the frequency will affect my devices that require 60Hz if they are getting 50Hz.
