Description
The Todd Systems Stepdown Auto-Transformer is a vintage voltage-conversion transformer designed to allow compatible 110/115V equipment to operate from a 220/230V supply. The photographed unit carries a 500 VA rating and is marked for 50/60 Hz operation. Its label identifies it as a Todd Systems product manufactured in Yonkers, New York, USA. The transformer uses an autotransformer configuration, stepping the incoming voltage down from approximately 230V to 115V. Todd Systems continues to manufacture stepdown autotransformers for converting 220–240V supplies to 110–120V equipment voltage. The unit features a distinctive blue painted metal enclosure, integrated power cord and a U.S.-style receptacle on the rear. The photographs also show four mounting/fastening points and the original transformer label, although substantial wear has affected the label's legibility. The transformer is rated for 500 VA, but its actual operating condition has not been tested from the photographs alone.
