Product Description
Small and compact size - weighs only 1.5 lbs! size: 6" x 4" x 3" Included plug adapters work in countries all around the world (Europe, Australia, New Zealand, North & South America, Caribbean, Africa, Asia, Middle East, Great Britain, Hong Kong) The LiteFuze FZ-1650K voltage converter kit includes a small step down 50-1600 travel voltage converter and 5 adapters plugs for all types of sockets around the world. This travel voltage converter can be used with heat producing items which require up to 1600 watt such as hair dryer or iron. It can also be switched to 50 watt setting for use with small electronics up to 50 watt such as battery chargers, cell phone chargers. This LiteFuze voltage converter comes with an inbuilt fuse protection for safe operations. Key Features: Converts 220/240-volt Electricity to 110/120-volt power for use in locations world-wide Includes 5 adapters for different plug-in types around the world All plug-in types are enclosed in the global power adapter kit for ease of packing in the suit case For use with electrical appliances requiring up to 1600 watts and electronic devices up to 50 watts Converts foreign voltages for safe operation of your personal appliances and electronics while abroad Deluxe Travel Converter with Fuse Protection 2 Selectable Settings (50W or 1600W) Steps Down 220/230/240V to 110/120V NOTE: We recommend to use a Voltage Converter / Transformer that's max watts is at least 50% higher than your appliance. DO NOT USE other electronics or items with electronic chips and circuits on 1600 watt setting. 1600 watt setting is for purely resistive items (items with heating elements only). Unplug when not in use. Travel converters are not designed for continuous use.

The product description of this item (Travel Voltage Converter Transformer 50-1600 Watt Kit) claims it "Converts 220/240-volt Electricity to 110/120-volt". But the fact is, it can only convert 220V to 110V at LOW setting, which works up to 50 Watts power.This product is actually two different converters built into one package. At LOW setting, it uses a small AC transformer to convert 220V sinusoidal waveform into 110V sinusoidal waveform. This is the preferred approach which works well for any low-power electronic appliance. One obvious limitation is that the appliance's power consumption must be under 50W (most laptop computer's AC adapters are rated for 90W or higher, by the way). If you connect a higher-power appliance to this converter, the transformer's iron core will become saturated. This results in runaway input current, which may then cause smoke or even fire.At HIGH (1600 Watt) setting, 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. This is the same principle used by most incandescent lamp dimmers. 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! (The product manual did warn that "DO NOT USE other electronics or items with electronic chips and circuits on 1600 watt setting." So the manufacturer is not liable in case of damage)This is not to say that this product is completely useless, only that you have to be EXTREMELY careful about what you can plug in at each setting. Unfortunately, some appliances fall into the grey area between 'heating' and 'electronic'. For example, most people will classify a curling iron (hair straightener) as a heating appliance. Yet it contains electronic circuit and its power consumption is higher than 50W, which means neither high nor low settings can be used.The good news is that most portable electronics (such as chargers for cameras, cell phones, laptops, etc) are already designed to handle universal input voltage. Check the AC adapter of your appliance to make sure. If it says "Input: 100 - 240V AC", then you don't have to use a voltage converter at all. All you need is a set of adapter plugs (such as the Travel Smart Polarized Adapter Plug 5 Piece Set), which allows you to physically plug into AC outlets in other countries, and you are good to go.

Used this in Peru. The many outlet plugs came in real handy as each hotel has it's own outlet style. The transformer itself is a little bit heavy so depending on where the outlet is there is sometimes a need to brace the transformer or the article your plugging into it with something. All in all this voltage transformer works fantastically and feels like a quality piece. I don't think you'll find a better transformer for the money.

Surprised when package arrived. Didn't expect it to be so heavy but it worked like a charm. Came with a nice carrying case. Plan on doing a lot of international traveling and will be happy to have it with us.
