"This is a great concept but the 100 amp unit is a little misleading. It is 100 amp pass through but only 28 amp converted. That means if you are converting 240V to 120V split phase you can only draw 28amps at 120V. Conversely if you are going from 120V to 240V you can only get 14 amps on the 240 Volt side because the 120V side will be maxed at 28 amps."

You can tell this is a quality product. I started with the 100 amp but returned for the 32 amp version for my application so I was able to test both. Both worked great and created clean power to split phase 230-240v from my 110v single phase 300 watt inverter. There is a hum at idle and under load, this is to be expected from a transformer. Since there is a power draw at idle, I wound-up adding a 120v breaker between the inverter and the transformer to minimize parasitic power draw. Buy this if you are trying to tie your single phase 110-120v inverter to your split phase 240v house system...just make sure you use the proper wire!chris

Best brand in the business. It’s smaller and heavier than expected but I’m duplicating a 120 leg so I can run my 240v well off a small solar system. Wish I bought this sooner.ajones

These are AMAZINGLY versatile devices, and I love working with them. However, I note that there is no UL listing or markings. It's compliant with European NRTLs, but not in North America -- if you install this, and there is an electrical fire in your house, does this give your insurer a reason to deny your claim? HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE TO BUY IN THE USA? I love Victron quality, and the community support, but I'm concerned that they don't bother to get compliant.paul

Have two delta pro,s and could not balance the loads on them. After hooking up the auto transformer it solved my problem. Both Delta pro's now drain equallyroger e
The media could not be loaded. So fare so good running well 240v

Used to step-up 120v input to a 120/240 split phase output with a derived center neutral. If you understand this concept, then you know this little gem allows you to run your entire house on a small 120 volt generator as long as you keep the total watts under the generators rating.In my case, (a 3000 sq ft house), all the (LED) lights work, the refrigerator and chest freezer work, the router and broadband work, a couple of laptops, and a 6000 btu inverter window AC, all run simultaneously off of a cheap Harbor Freight 5000 inverter generator. We use this configuration at night during hurricanes in order to stretch fuel and reduce noise. During the day, we run a 20kw liquid-cooled diesel genny, but its just overkill for overnight use.Pay close attention to the wiring and see the Victron diagrams for details. If you have questions, get them answered before you throw the switch.Note: This box does NOT increase watts or make your genny “more powerful” even though a couple of YouTube “experts” claim such things. What this box does is let you use the full output of your 120 volt generator to its maximum, and derive the split-phase 120/240 volt output, and “create” a neutral leg without regard to how imbalanced each hot leg may be.What Customers Talk About

Rating Breakdown
This chart shows how customers rated Victron Energy Autotransformer 120/240V AC. Products with authentic reviews typically show a bell curve with most ratings in the 3–4 star range. A heavily polarized distribution — many 5★ and 1★ with few middle ratings — can be worth investigating further.
Key Findings
389% are 5-star but 32% are 1-star reviews. This polarization is suspicious even with limited reviews.
