complaints when using a hughes autoformer
I am looking at a used hughes autoformer. I know some parks rules say they are not allowed. Some parks we have been in, I have seen voltage at @ 102 to 104 with my a/c on. I would be using a PI 3o...

higher voltage, lower amperage, IS TRUE for devices downstream of the product. but that higher voltage does not come for free, out of thin air. where does it come from?
It comes from a transformer that trades amps for volts. The wattage remains constant.
That is NOT always true and the trade is not 100% efficient so the wattage does not remain constant.
Take something simple like a space heater. If you raise lower the voltage, the current goes DOWN. Raise the V and Current goes UP.
Like I wrote, people get hung up on OHM's law and don't understand the external effects.
Wow!
