Question 1

My house is 110-120v.  The heater I want says 4000 Watts, 240v , 16.67 amps will this converter work?

Accepted Answer

Simply judging by what the manufacturer explicitly says about the 1.5x power factor then this 5000 watt converter could safely be used only up to an appliance with a max rating of 3,333 watts.   Phase consideration aside, this would not be enough for your 4000 watt heater and you'd likely burn out the converter in a short time.

Question 2

Your 5000 Watt unit says it is compatible with 50/60 Hz. Is this unit also handle 50/60 Hz

Accepted Answer

It handles 50Hz and also 60Hz as input. It does not convert the frequency (Hz) only the Volts. So if the input is 110V with 60Hz the converted output would be 220V with still 60Hz.Most equipment, like amplifiers and also DVD players always worked fine for me.Caution only where you use it for things with a string electric motor like a blender or espresso mashine, it works fir me for over 2 years but the sound is weired.

Question 3

I'm planning on taking this to germany.  how will i be able to plug it into a schuko outlet, since it looks like it comes with a u.s. power cord?

Accepted Answer

You may use an adapter or have the cord cut and install a schuko adapter.

Question 4

can this work with a Braumeister 50L (German)  220V 3200W, 16 amp unit that I will use for approximately 2.5 to 3 hours

Accepted Answer

No to answer your question.
It's over rated !
On the box its printed 2000 watts and its scratched out and then it says 3000 watts. You need 3200 watts.The transformer is actually a TOROIDAL auto-transformer and is non isolated from input to output in order to keep cost and weight down. TOROIDAL is far much superior than i & e lamanations.
Also when I opened the power supply I discovered that the 120 volt thermal breaker is 20 amps = 2,400 watts max...way short for 50L Braumeister 
The 240 volt thermal breaker is 10 amps = 2,400 watts max.
If you are using this in the usa you can only use a maximum of 1800 watts because the line cord is #14 awg, 15 amps maximum input, and you need 16 amps minimum continuous that limits the 240 volts to a maximum output of 1800 watts. (If you try to increase the line amps past 15 amps on the cord you could risk a fire hazard, But many usa homes have 20 amp, 120 volts outlets so feel the cord and plug and make sure it doesn't get hot ! )
If you are using this at 240 volt x 10 amps = 2400 watts maximum input limit before the thermal breaker activates.

Also I tested the neutral on the input cord and it matches with the neutral on the outputs such as the 120 volt socket and on the universal socket.
The Schuko socket is reversible so no test done there.
