220 to 110volts

[eng2d2]

I am currently in europe that uses 220volts. I brought a transformer with me that converts 220 to 110. Everytime I plug in the 120v toaster oven to the transformer it blows the transformer fuse. What am I doing wrong?

What's the transformer rated at? Toaster is probably drawing to much current what's the fuse rated at?

It is 100w transformer and the toaster oven is 1050w. I think I had a dumb moment there. Didnt realize it.

well, at least you know it works. That's a plus.

Why on earth do you have a 110v toaster in Europe?

I know, it was on sale here. I brought it as a gift with transformer.

Yeah it seems like it would be far easier to just get a toaster there, unless it's a special toaster.

Sometimes its hard to break a relationship with that certain special toaster.

Nice, I just went back and watched that series recently. I must admit, that particular toaster he was fond of was very nice

This is hilarious. I love the vision of somebody plugging in a 1050watt toaster to a 100 watt circuit and it keeps going poof. So funny. Thank you OP
That whole conversion thing is rather fascinating. Especially the reasons why countries adopted their current standards.
