How can one get 3600 watts of 120 volt power thru a 30 amp breaker operating at 100 volts?
Obviously you can't! 3000 watts is it at 100 volts. The autoformer will increase the voltage within certain limits, but can not draw more than the 30 amp breaker will alow. Up until the 30 amps it can boost the voltage.
There are other limits as well. Is all that it does is use relays to change taps on an autotransformer at defined input voltages. I don't know how many steps it has, have not read the spec sheet, I think only one or two.
