Did you know when transformers are plugged into the wall the consume power even if they aren't hooked

directly to a device? It's true. They also waste power when powering a device. If you have ever felt one

and it was warm, that is wasted energy turned to heat. The power consumption is not large -- on the

order of 1 to 5 watts per transformer. But it does add up. Let's say that you have 10 of them,

and they consume 5 watts each. That means that 50 watts are being wasted constantly. If a kilowatt-

hour costs a dime in your area, that means you are spending a dime every 20 hours. That's about $44

every year down the drain. Or, think of it this way -- there are roughly 100 million households in the

United States. If each household wastes 50 watts on these transformers, that's a total of 5 billion watts.

As a nation, that's half a million dollars wasted every hour, or $4,380,000,000 wasted every year!

Think of what you could do with 4 billion dollars.

AC / DC Transformers & Adaptors

Multiple Voltage DC Power Supplies

(Battery Eliminators, DC Adaptors) Blade type

"wall-wart" shape, plugs into 110-120 VAC Wall outlet.

It is easier to carry just one adaptor for your radios, calculator and other battery operated appliances.

Each of these three power supplies can be switched to select from a range of commonly used voltages.

All have these voltages: 3, 4.5, 6, 7.5, 9, 12 volts DC

and the model BE226 has all and also 1.5 volts DC:

just set a slide switch to select the voltage.    
These adaptors all have DC Power connectors plug

adaptors that will mate with most radios and calculators, games etc. All have a polarity reversing feature so that

you may set the center to either positive or negative.

The 300 mA unit is usually enough for radios and

calculators. Lager radios may need one of the bigger

units, so check the current specs for your equipment

and buy a supply rated slightly larger (higher

current value).

Item Number: # BE226

(0.3 AMP)
 

Item Number: # BE227

(0.5 AMP)
 

Item Number: # BE240

(0.8 AMP)
 

WORLD TRAVELER AC/DC ADAPTOR (600 mA)

Designed for serious travelers; use either of two input voltages, 110/220 volts AC. Include is European round pin adaptor. User can select output voltage from these:

1.5, 3, 4.5, 6, 7.5, 9 and 12 V DC. Adaptor set will adapt

the output connector to fit radios, recorders, handheld games, calculators, adding machines and so on.  Use in

North America, South American, Europe and much of Asia.

 

Item Number: # 48-140
