Draper Transformer - 110V 3.3kVA

The continuous power rating is 1650VA.

No, the continuous rating is 1650VA. While it has an intermittent rating of 3300VA, it must be operated on a duty cycle of 5 minutes on and 15 minutes off for such loads.

The IP44 rating means the transformer is protected against solid objects over 1mm (like wires) and protected against water splashes from any direction.

It can power a wide range of tools and equipment, including corded drills, demolition hammers, bench grinders, angle grinders, jigsaws, circular saws, industrial fans, dehumidifiers, and fume extractors.

Yes, it is supplied with a 240V 13A plug and a 1.8m cable.

The IP44 rating provides protection against splashes, but it is not designed for submersion. Always ensure the transformer itself and the connections are kept as dry as possible.

This is a safety feature that helps to limit the voltage on the chassis of connected tools to no more than 50V, significantly reducing the risk of electric shock.

Check that the 240V plug is securely inserted into a working mains socket. Verify that the tools themselves are functioning correctly by testing them with another power source if possible. Ensure the total load does not exceed the continuous rating of 1650VA.

The transformer may be exceeding its duty cycle. Allow it to cool down for at least 15 minutes as per the 5-on/15-off recommendation. Reduce the number or power draw of connected tools if using continuously.

This could indicate an overload. Disconnect one tool or device to reduce the load. Ensure connections are secure.

Disconnect the transformer from the mains supply. Gently clean the sockets with a dry brush or compressed air. If damage is visible, do not use the transformer and contact the manufacturer or supplier.
