PAC Heavy-Duty Voltage Converters — Maximum Capacity Bidirectional Power Conversion
Safely run your heavy-duty imported 100V Japanese and 110V–120V North American equipment in Australia, or step up Australian 240V appliances for use overseas, with the PAC 3000W Voltage Transformer (SKU: ST-3000).
As the highest-capacity autotransformer in the PAC ST range, the ST-3000 is engineered to handle substantial inductive and resistive loads. It delivers smooth, stable power conversion across 240V, 120V, and 100V mains grids, easily accommodating large motor startups and high-wattage heating elements without nuisance tripping. Built with a heavy-duty front-panel resettable miniature circuit breaker (MCB), it provides instant overload recovery with a single push—no replacement fuses required.
Key Features:
- Full Bidirectional Conversion: Operates as a heavy-duty step-down converter (240V to 100V / 120V) in Australia and a step-up converter (100V / 120V to 240V) when operating Australian equipment overseas.
- Multi-Voltage Front Outlets: Equipped with dedicated sockets for 1 x 100V (Japan), 1 x 110V/120V (North America), and 1 x 240V (Australia/Universal).
- High-Retention Pressed Metal Sockets: Industrial-grade pressed metal pin contacts provide firm, arcless connections for 2-pin, 2-pin polarized, and 3-pin grounded plugs.
- Resettable Circuit Breaker (MCB): Front-panel breaker switch trips safely during overcurrent situations and resets with a single click—no spare fuses needed.
- Smooth Low-Inrush Startup: Switches on smoothly on standard domestic power circuits without tripping sensitive switchboard safety switches.
- 3000W Power Capacity: Rated for up to 3000 Watts intermittent/peak duty (up to 1 hour) and 2000 Watts continuous operation.
- Dual Layer Thermal Safety: Automatic internal thermal cutoff disengages power if internal temperatures exceed safe operating limits.
- Australian Standards Compliant: ACMA and EESS Responsible Supplier registered for Australian electrical safety.
- 2-Year Replacement Warranty: Supported directly by PAC in South Australia.

Frequently Asked Questions (ST-3000)
Q: Can the ST-3000 be used both as a step-down and a step-up transformer?
A: Yes. The ST-3000 is fully bidirectional. In Australia, setting the rear selector switch to 240V steps down mains power to run 100V Japanese and 110V/120V North American appliances. When traveling or relocating overseas to 100V–120V regions, setting the rear switch to 110V steps power up to the dedicated 240V front outlet to operate Australian equipment.
Q: What is the difference between peak wattage and continuous wattage on the ST-3000?
A: The ST-3000 is rated for 3000 Watts maximum/peak output for intermittent duty up to 1 hour, and 2000 Watts continuous duty for appliances running constantly for longer periods. High-draw appliances such as espresso machines and heavy commercial blenders draw large surge currents, so adhering to the 2000W continuous threshold ensures cool, reliable long-term operation.
Q: Why does my imported appliance plug require a firm push into the socket?
A: PAC transformers use industrial-grade pressed metal pin sockets. On initial use, inserting the plug requires a firm push. This high-retention fit prevents loose-pin connections, electrical arcing, and heat buildup during high-wattage operation.
Q: How does the Australian 50Hz frequency affect imported 60Hz appliances?
A: The transformer converts voltage, not electrical frequency. Heating elements (in espresso machines and rice cookers) and universal motors (in blenders and power tools) work normally. Pure AC induction motors may rotate approximately 10–15% slower, which does not impact safety or functionality.
Q: How does the circuit breaker operate during an overload?
A: The ST-3000 features a heavy-duty front-panel resettable miniature circuit breaker (MCB). If an electrical overload or short circuit occurs, the switch trips automatically. Once the appliance load is reduced or the fault is cleared, press the switch to reset—no replacement fuses are required.
