Nowadays, with the ease of international travel, companies are able to post staff abroad for long periods and families are re-establishing themselves, often bringing with them all their domestic appliances and equipment. Problems arise when they come to ‘plug in’ to the mains in the UK and Europe. USA supply is 120V, 60Hz and Japan is between 100V, 50Hz and 105V 60Hz. (Source: BSI World Electricity Supplies).
The Atlantic range of portable transformers have an output that is suitable for all appliances from the USA and Japan with the exception of some frequency dependent items, for example clocks. Auto transformers are suitable for the higher power levels, (e.g. refrigerators, skillets) and are lighter and cheaper.

Three power ratings are available in the TAA range, all are fitted with a standard UK 13A mains outlet and a 3 pin US plug lead.
