Hi Almot,
Yes, but buck has never been an issue in Canada or USA.
1st layer of boost at 110 is 10% to 121 (no load)
2nd layer of boost at 100 is 20% to 121 (no load)
3rd layer of boost at 90 is still only 20% to 109 (no load)
I'm not sure why they bothered with the 3rd layer since it appears to do the same thing as the 2nd layer. It definitely does happen. i.e. the meter reading does rise at 90 volts of input.
I'm tempted to rent a variac and play all day long figuring out boost numbers from an input of 121 right down to 85.
The "load" when testing was a 300 watt incandescent bulb. Pure resistive load.
