decimation: Not cheap, I cannot vouch for the quality
decimation: found them googling around. There are also transformers sold for the yacht market, but I'm sure they are more expensive
decimation: I wanted to buy a 1:2 transformer to step-up my 120 volt generator to 240 volt for heavy appliances
decimation: I found a few but it was clearly not a mainstream product. What would be nice is to combine an isolation transformer with two secondary windings so you can choose your output voltage
decimation: it seems to me that the 120 volt standard in the US is extremely wasteful of valuable copper. The US should switch to the global 220/240 v standard.
