can this be used for a double door large usa refrigerator in a 240v country?

Brigide, it depends on the power of your appliance. Theoretically it can not be used with more than 3000w. I would rather have some leeway (about 30% more wattage than needed for the appliance).

Look on the back of the fridge. If it says the peak wattage is more than 3000w then no. If it does not say that, then look for the peak Amperage (it may or may not say that) or just the Amperage. Take the Amperage number and multiply it by 240. If the result is more than 3000 then no. if less then yes. I would recommend that you have some extra leeway. Hopefully, your fridge will not exceed 2000 and then if there is peak amp draw when the compressor fires up from time to time, you'll have the insurance of extra VA to pick up the load. One thing this unit will do is make a loud vibrating noise if you are drawing too much. If you hear that, you definitely need a bigger transformer. I uplugged a Keurig in this and it started doing that when it was heating the water. Not for more than about 10 seconds, but enough for me to know not to use it. I ended up buying a 7.5KVA (7500VA) transformer from the base exchange in the UK when that happened.

It has a power input switch for 110/220. Being that our power input is 110v, I don't know if the 240v works or not.

Yes, I would think it would work OK unless the freezer manual says otherwise. Many times they will tell you to plug big appliances directly to the outlet. The 12ga wire is probably overkill and should handle the load fine.

No I'm assuming you would need a power down converter 240v will fry the unit and probably even cause you some sort of harm

Unfortunatly no, I have just order it recently and discovered it doesn't support the 240v.You can try amazon.co.uk

you need to call the manufacturer for that information. A lot of small appliances need a transformer to work, otherwise the 220 V will fry the circuitry

I am pretty sure it would only work with a 110v plug as it is an item that is sold in the US, so it is not typical for appliances of this nature to have the conversion built in to it.

I looked at the instructions for you and it doesn't say anything about working in a 240 volt environment at all. My guess is that it would not.

No - I would not run this product on 240V. You could buy a converter - but a 1000W model would be more expensive than just buying a 240V heater.

from what i know, it is designed for use here in the usa which has only 120 volts for these kind of appliances. unless they make a model with 220 volts, don't attempt to use the 110 volt model.

No you can't. All appliances from the U.S. are 120 volts. Check Amazon.co.uk for the 240 volts version

sorry Sorrakritch, I've only used it with 120v. The plug and outlets on the unit are standard 120v size so I don't think it would work on 240v but am not sure.

I may not be qualified to answer this but here is my take on your question. Whatever your appliance draws on the 240v side it will be double on the 110v side. If you plug the transformer into a wall socket it may only be rated for 15 or possibly 20 amps. If your 240v dryer is going to draw any more than 7.5 amps (which it probably will) I would not use the transformer as you will probably blow your circuit breaker.Regards,S

No, it can't. They make a different version for the higher voltage. I discovered that after having bought this model from Amazon, thinking that it can work with 240v due to how it is described, but seeing a sticker on it saying 110v. I then wrote to the manufacturer who replied that the European model is different.

I don't know, as I used it only as a refrigerator. Check the company's spec sheet, see what it says.

Yes you can input 240V. Check here for data sheet, http://www.jameco.com/Jameco/Products/ProdDS/301938.pdf

Yes, this unit can be used on appliances for 220V. What to do, simply change the input voltage switch to 110V and then connect the unit to the main power, automatically it will output at 220V
