I have an American dehumidifier, with a 3-pronged cord, 410 Watts, 115 V, 60HZ, 3.8A. Can I use this unit &amp; how shall I plug it into aSwiss outlet?

Very simple-plug in transformer into wall socket (the plug has two rounded prongs -may need an adapter to fit, I'm not sure what types of wall outlets are in Switzerland). Then just plug US 3 pronged cord into the 110 V outlet on transformer. This transformer is rated for 1000 Watts, so you should be fine at only 410 Watts.

It plugs into a 110v outlet, heats itself up to evaporate any moisture that may be caught in it, and when the beads are blue you are supposed to unplug it and place it back into the area you wish to dehumidify. In that respect it is a passive dehumidifier. It is also "passive" in that this product does not dehumidify the 10 cubic foot space I tried it in, I would say that it doesn't "work" at all. According to my hygrometer, this product does nothing but hang there while the beads change colors.

I have never used this as a Dehumidifier... but found the manual online... http://cache.air-n-water.com/manuals/newair-ac-12000e-user's-guide.pdf

You can use ether one.I like this one because it is a convection action.So it takes the cool moist air and dies it.It works in my 50 cu ft safe.The power cord comes with the plug not installed.So You can stick it through a small hole in your safe.Then connect the plug.then plug in the wall.

I have no idea. It works great in our heated basement and keeps it dry even on the most humid days. Best dehumidifier we have owned and we have owned quite a few! I would check with the manufacturer about the temperature limit.

The total current drain for the three(3) cords may exceed the maximum rating of the 3-prong outlet. If this is the case , I suggest you use the RV Plug since an RV to Standard Outlet Adapter is relatively inexpensive compared to the Twist -Lock Connector that would be needed.Good luck and God Bless America !!!wysansi2008

Yes , you can do but the sensor of this is real short, You must buy longer sensor wit same characteristic with this, and you must install 115 vac outlet. to use. Good luck

I would think so as long as the device can handle the watts that power the dehumidifier. The manual should cover these specifications.

I assume that you're referring to the plug on the AC power adapter. That 2-prong AC plug fits any standard household 110 VAC power socket right out of the box... it doesn't need the 3rd (grounding) pin that you see on most AC power plugs nowadays. And, you can plug it in either way - it doesn't matter. Enjoy your keyboard.

Unfortunately, your idea doesn't work as described on a 2-wire 220 circuit. That is, unless you use the bare ground as a neutral, and that isn't really too Kosher, although logically I don't know why. It would be nice to see what my submersible well pump, window mount A/C unit and air compressor are using.

Thanks Peter;I'm interested in your approach - but can't follow your text description. Could you provide a 'diagram'???I also have EE background - would like to try metering my clothes dryer(220VAC).BTW - do you have a recommendation for a 'whole house' WAM?? preferably with logging, USB capabilityRegards,WT

Do the American ones come with adapter GFP241DA-0926 ? I bought two of these dehumidifiers (supplied by GET plc through Woolworths in UK, reduced from GBP 40 to GBP 20) probably sometime last year, though I don't have receipts. One failed before the other so I was able to determine that is was the power supply and not the dehumidifier that had failed. GET can't supply new power adapters, and as I don't have receipts I can't take them back to Woolworths.

When plugged in the dehumidifier will not absorb moisture. It should only be plugged in to recharge the unit.

Yes, that's exactly how it works. You can plug any regular appliance A/C cord into the unit and it will run it as long as the appliance is not too energy hungry (i.e. < 100 watts). This is a great portable unit and I highly recommend it.

I am a bit confused. The unit I received says very firmly not to use it with an extension cord. But as is, the cord is not long enough. Would it be safe to use plugged into this cord: Allied Precision LD16-50 Lockndry Outdoor Indoor 50-Feet Detachable Power Supply Cord, 16 gauge 13-Amp Rating? I have used this with another birdbath heater, but I don't want to do something unsafe.

It is "NOT" a 220, I plugged it in to my standard 110 (115?) outlet, 3 prong. (left,right and ground)and FYI summer is almost over here in Arkansas and It has worked like a charm, It's quieter than I expectedand has cooled my 550 square foot home very well. I recommend it.JL

You know, I don't really know, but I've used mine more than 1/2 dozen times without any power problems or surges. I plug into a 110v outlet, including poolside and dockside. It's handy little tool for keeping the mold off the walkways. I live in SW Florida, and humidity keeps things a bit green most of the time, but this has been great for my driveway, sidewalk and decks. Sorry I don't know about the ratings, but it works well.... I keep in in my car now, as so many friends have asked me to clean for them!!!
