I am looking for a step up transformer 120 to 277
(needs t be about 250 watts)

finding one has been very elusive.

If anyone has a source, let PLEASE give me some direction or a link.

THANKS

I wasn't gonna post, since I'm 99% sure you know this, but transformers pretty much don't care step up or step down, and "step down" is much more common.


Also


240 to 120 might be more common.



Also, just in case, usually transformers are rated in VA (voltsxamps), so search for 250 va.



 
............and then?
I am looking at the one from Summit and 90% sure I am going to pull the trigger on it. The other one you listed was Canadian and list the Hertz as 50, which really shouldn't be a factor in transformers (considering they only focus on voltage) but it still concerns me a little

(and 240 and 277 are WAY different. in the US, 240 is 2 lines, 120 and 277 is one leg of 480 to neutral.

Goof find. THANK YOU VERY MUCH

I didn't search at all for the best price, those were just the first few that google brought up.
