The unit I have for sale is about half the height of the one pictured on
the right above, but is otherwise identical.

From the maker's blurb:

"High quality rugged portable safety isolating transformers designed to
ensure safe site electrics for Power Tools and Lighting etc.
Double wound with safety earth screen between windings."

"110V secondaries centre tapped to earth to minimise shock risk"
"All insulated yellow splashproof GRP enclosure"
"Thermal safety overload fuse embedded into primary winding"
"Approx. 2 metres mains cable fitted with 13A plug"
"High quality manufacturing and testing in accordance to EN60 742
BS3535"

Selling at RS for £58+VAT, asking ukp20. Due to weight, would prefer
not to ship but will if asked (buyer pays.)

Collection from North Wirral (10 min. Liverpool city centre)

RS prices are always worth a laugh.

TLC 500Va site transformer to BS3535 is 39.95 plus VAT.
