110v wall mount transformer

Hi,

The new garage is up and running a while, but still havne't got around to getting my wall mount transformer. I am in the UK this week and looking at these two as they are significantly cheaper than back home.

I note both have a continious VA rating of half the peak shown in the title. the 100va one will fit exactly where I need it, the larger one, I may have to try move the fuseboard a few mm, if the electrician left enough slack!!

So the question is would the smaller one be good enough for running a small grinder and a chop saw, I rarely have any need to run both together.

Regards,

Darren

It may be a mute point guys the larger one is the only one in stock where I am

If cost isn't an issue I'd go for the bigger one as your bound to buy something later on that may need a slightly bigger power supply. For an additional 30 quid or so you can make your installation reasonably future proof

I made my own a few years ago when the case got broken on a site transformer, just re-housed the guts in a metal box.
