also comes with what appears to be an amp, no bids with a start price of $50 and free shipping

Hrm...that guy doesn't know half of what he has there....a "transformer" for 110V @20 Amps to 110V @ 20 Amps....that to me is a little "off" ! Where is the "Transform" ????

Maybe it "Transforms" into a '76 Camaro... ;D

It's an isolation transformer... basically just like a filter for one AC source to put out a purer AC source.  Not really a "transformer" in the traditional sense of converting one AC voltage to another.

WELL THEN ! I stand corrected - guess that shows you who knows more about electronics, eh ? RKCSTR !

Greg, senkat you were correct to question those numbers.

Here's a lesson in electric.

120*20 to 120*20   won't happen in realality.
That thing will run too hot to touch under full load and waste 10 percent of the power it's transfoming
mostly as heat. power factoring. impedence mismatch.

Connect pri to sec and get 240vac would be cooler as autotransformer.

I got a jones to buy that water cooled meter. Shows off  monster beam power with a giant number ;D
