Skytronic CNV1000W - 230–110 Vac bidirectional converter, 1000 VA

Skytronic CNV1000W - 230–110 Vac bidirectional converter, 1000 VA

The Skytronic CNV1000W is a high-capacity voltage converter that can power 110–120 V AC equipment from the European 220–240 V AC network and, thanks to its integrated selector, also work in reverse ( 110 ↔ 230 V ). With a nominal power of 1000 VA , an illuminated On/Off switch, an operating indicator light and a front-accessible fuse holder, it offers a robust and safe solution for using appliances purchased in the USA or Asia in European installations. Its desktop format is compact (180 × 140 × 130 mm) and stable, weighing 5.7 kg, for a solid base during use.

Its VA rating indicates the transformer's electrical capacity. For resistive loads (e.g., heaters or some switching power supplies), 1000 VA approximates 1000 W ; for inductive loads (motors, compressors, tools), it's a good idea to leave some extra margin. The CNV1000W does not alter the mains frequency (50/60 Hz), so equipment that strictly relies on 60 Hz should be checked before use.

Main features

• Nominal power: 1000 VA (approx. 1000 W on resistive loads).
• Input/Output: 220–240 V AC ↔ 110–120 V AC (selectable).
• Two-way selector 230 ↔ 110 V on the equipment itself.
• Control and signaling: illuminated On/Off switch and status indicator light.
• Integrated protection: front fuse holder with replaceable fuse.
• Network connection: cable with ground connection.
• Format: desktop, compact and stable design.
• Dimensions: 180 × 140 × 130 mm.
• Weight: 5.7 kg.
• Compatible range: 200, 300, 500 and 1000 VA versions available.

Product benefits

• Total versatility: use in both directions (230→110 V or 110→230 V) by simply selecting the appropriate position.
• Easy installation: plug in, select voltage, and turn on; the indicator light confirms operation.
• Everyday safety: fuse and ground protection for working with confidence.
• Take advantage of your imported equipment: ideal for using 110V appliances in Spain or other countries with a 230V network.
• Solid construction: size and weight provide stability during continued use.

Use cases

• Imported audio and electronics: powering 110V amplifiers, processors, or equipment in studios and rooms with a 230V network.
• Technical service and laboratory: test bench for equipment with different nominal voltages.
• Home and office: small appliances or 110V devices (always respecting the power and nature of the load).

Frequently Asked Questions

Does it also convert frequency (50/60 Hz)?
No. This converter converts voltage, not frequency. If your equipment relies on 60 Hz, confirm compatibility before using it.

What real power can I connect?
The indicated power is 1000 VA. For resistive loads, this value is closer to 1000 W; for inductive loads (motors, large internal transformers), it is advisable to oversize and allow for starting peaks.

Can it be used in reverse (110→230 V)?
Yes. The CNV1000W includes a selector switch for both directions of operation. Make sure you set the selector to the correct position before turning it on.

Installation and safety recommendations

• Always check the position of the selector before connecting and switching on.
• Use the converter indoors, with adequate ventilation and away from heat sources.
• Do not open the equipment. Replace the fuse only with one of the same specifications.
• Connect and disconnect the equipment with the power off; do not handle with wet hands.
