The Draper Site Transformer - Defender 1500VA is designed for demanding construction environments, providing a safe and reliable 110V power supply for tools and lighting by stepping down and isolating mains voltage. Its robust GRP case and resettable overload protection ensure durability and safety, although users must be mindful of its intermittent duty cycle for continuous high-demand tasks.

The intermittent rating (1500VA) is the maximum power the transformer can supply for short durations, typically useful for tools with high startup currents. The continuous rating (900VA) is the maximum power it can supply steadily over extended periods.
Yes, you can run two tools simultaneously as long as their combined power draw does not exceed the 900VA continuous rating. For tools with high startup requirements, adhere strictly to the intermittent duty cycle.
IP44 signifies that the transformer is protected against solid objects over 1mm in size (like wires or large screws) and against water splashing from any direction.
This transformer is designed for construction tools and general site use. For highly sensitive electronics, a more specialized voltage stabilizer or isolation transformer might be required.
Locate the reset button on the transformer unit and press it firmly. If it trips again immediately, there is likely an issue with the connected appliance or a short circuit.
It features a 2m rubber-sheathed H07RN-F cable with a 1.5mm² 3-core conductor, known for its durability and suitability for harsh environments.
This feature enhances safety by ensuring that the voltage to earth is limited, providing an extra layer of protection against electric shock, especially in damp conditions.
Check that the 110V plug is securely connected to the power source. Verify that the tool or appliance is functioning correctly. Press the reset button on the overload protection.
The transformer may be exceeding its continuous rating. Disconnect one appliance or ensure tools are used within the specified duty cycle (5min on / 15min off for high loads).
This indicates a fault with the connected tool or appliance drawing too much current, or a short circuit. Disconnect all tools and reset the protection. Test each tool individually.
Immediately disconnect the transformer from the power source and do not use it. Contact the supplier for repair or replacement.
