Now, Chinese people who pursue high-quality life have set their attention to buying high-quality products all over the world. These shopping people, known as "overseas shopping people", have gradually become larger in our country, and even have special occupations: purchasing agents. What is a bit embarrassing is that due to inconsistent global voltage standards, electrical appliances purchased from Japan, South Korea, the United States and other countries cannot be used directly, causing inconvenience.
The magic weapon I want to introduce today is Bull power transformer , which can convert the 220V voltage of my country's power grid to 110V. The model of this bull power transformer is GN-P3, which can meet the 500VA rated capacity of . In fact, it means that rated power supports 500 watts. After reading the introduction, the highest instantaneous power supports 800VA. For safety, it is safer to use within the rated power range.
1. Appearance
First of all, the outer packaging, the green paper box, which looks a bit broken. In fact, when the express delivery comes, the outer box also feels almost broken. The reason is that this transformer is really heavy, which has a great impact on the outer packaging during the express delivery process.
The first thing I saw when opening the outer packaging is the wire material, with EPE foam film.
continues to open and see the transformer, which is round and really unique. This shape reminds me of the "foot stove" from several years ago. There is a Japanese socket hole in the middle of the round shape. There are heat dissipation holes next to it. It is worth noting that the material of this panel is plastic, but there is a difference between flame retardant and non-flame retardant. Of course, I didn't try to burn it.
The picture above is a real shot of the socket panel taken when I was traveling to the island country last year. The socket hole is exactly the same as the socket on the transformer panel of the Bull.
package is a transformer manual, and there are not many accessories.
product is surrounded by aluminum alloy, the alloy surface adopts spraying process, the feel is delicate, and the magnet does not adsorb. There is a bull's logo on the side, and the entire color scheme and design are integrated, making it look quite comfortable.
There is a circular physical switch next to the outlet of the transformer body barrel. I believe you know what it is for.
controls the current on and off of transformer by pressing the switch , and the actual pressing effect is good. In addition, you can also see that the entire top and side of the transformer are equipped with heat dissipation holes, which can dissipate heat in time, and can ensure stable operation for a long time with high power.
Even if the temperature is too high, the overheating protection function equipped by the Bull Power Transformer can automatically cut off the power supply to ensure the safety of electricity use.
has MAX 500VA text and indicator hole on the front panel.
There is also a circle of heat dissipation holes at the bottom of the transformer. The protrusions below can effectively prevent the heat dissipation and exhaust holes from connecting to the ground, affecting heat dissipation. There is a bolt nut in the middle, and it has been exposed to many transformers. It is used to fix the transformer coil in the transformer. Bull power transformer adopts an auto-coupled pure copper coil transformer to reduce the copper loss of the transformer, while the magnetically permeable silicon steel core can reduce the iron loss of the transformer, reducing the volume while reducing the heat generation.
power cord is 1.5 meters long, and the power peak of the transformer itself is 800VA. Bull used a 2500W power cord here, and the carrying power is reassuring.
product has a laser engraving product tag at the bottom. It takes a lot of effort to turn such a heavy transformer over, which also shows that the Bull's power transformer uses solid materials.
2. Test
as a comparison, take out my original transformer, which is considered a 220V to 110V transformer internet celebrity model of Taobao . From the picture, it can also support a rated power of 500VA.
This is my weighing of the two products, both of which are rated at 500VA, and the Bull Power Transformer is much heavier than the Taobao model.
In fact, the reason for replacing the transformer this time is mainly because the transformer I bought on Taobao used a large universal output port, and the compatibility is indeed good, but the air purifier socket I often use is flat two-piece, which is not firmly inserted and loose. So after using it for more than three years, I am going to change it to a more secure one. Bull is a well-known domestic brand, so I feel at ease when I buy a brand.
Bull GN-P3 transformer is used in conjunction with my air purifier. It is absolutely true that the air purifier was purchased from Japan. It has a 110V voltage and a full load power of 74W. Using Bull GN-P3 transformer is a waste of money.
air purifier brand is Sharp , with a rated voltage of 100V and a power of 74W.
After plugging in the power cord, the air purifier will enter the working state smoothly. The blue indicator light will light up during work, and the light is relatively concentrated and dim. When you go to bed at night, this small light source will not affect your sleep.
The electric toothbrushes returned from overseas shopping can also be used normally.
3. Summary
Compare the internet celebrity models you bought in Taobao before and tell me what you feel about using. The nostalgic retro shape of the round "foot stove" is combined with the texture of the modern aluminum alloy shell, which is very distinctive and also creates the high appearance and comfortable feel of the Bull Power Transformer; the weight is about 40% higher than that of the Internet celebrity model, the materials are quite solid, and the quality is reassuring enough; the metal shell and plastic panel are both fire-resistant and flame-retardant materials, eliminating the hidden dangers of fire from the source; the rated power is 500VA, which is also sufficient for household fans, rice cookers, hair dryers, and air purifiers; the weak blue indicator light is not dazzling.
