The Red Arrow 3.3kVA Portable Site Transformer is designed for professional contractors and tradespeople who require a reliable 110V power supply for heavy-duty tools on industrial work sites. Providing a robust 3000W capacity, it allows for the safe operation of power tools and lighting systems; however, users should be aware that its durable steel construction makes it quite heavy to transport manually over long distances.

The transformer provides a maximum continuous load of 3000W.
It is rated IP44, which means it is protected against splashing water from any direction, but it should not be submerged.
This unit is designed for 110V industrial power tools and lighting; it is generally not compatible with standard 230V household appliances.
It plugs into a standard 230V mains supply to convert the voltage down to the site-standard 110V.
You can use two tools simultaneously, provided their total power draw does not exceed 3000W.
Check if the total load exceeds 3000W and disconnect unnecessary devices, or verify the main circuit breaker has not tripped.
A slight hum is normal for heavy-duty transformers; however, if the sound is excessive or accompanied by a burning smell, disconnect immediately and have the unit inspected.
To set up the transformer, place it in a stable, ventilated area and plug it into a standard 230V mains supply. Ensure the plug is securely seated. For compatibility, this unit uses industry-standard 16A 110V industrial plugs, which are common for most site-ready power tools. Maintenance is minimal but essential: inspect the power cable periodically for fraying or insulation damage. Always keep the output sockets free of debris or dust, and store the unit in a clean, dry location when not in use to maintain the integrity of the IP44 casing seals.
