Fitted with heavy-duty pressed metal sockets for 100V (Japan), 110V/120V (North America), and 240V (Australia), it safely powers imported commercial pellet BBQ smokers, high-draw workshop machinery, commercial espresso machines, and high-wattage equipment. Features an Australian 15A input plug, front-panel resettable miniature circuit breaker (MCB), and dual-stage thermal overload safety. Backed by PAC's 2-Year Australian Replacement Warranty.
PAC Industrial Voltage Converters — Heavy-Duty 5000W Bidirectional Power Transformation
Power your highest-capacity imported 100V Japanese and 110V–120V North American machinery in Australia, or run Australian 240V appliances overseas, with the PAC 5000W Voltage Transformer (SKU: ST-5000).
The ST-5000 is PAC's flagship heavy-duty autotransformer, purpose-built for high-demand residential, commercial, and defence base applications. Engineered to handle large continuous heating elements and high-inrush electric motors without voltage dip or nuisance breaker tripping, this 18.5 kg industrial unit features a front-panel resettable miniature circuit breaker (MCB) and reinforced pressed metal socket pins.
Important Mains Connection Information (15A Plug):
To deliver up to 3600W continuous output, the ST-5000 is fitted with an Australian standard 15A mains plug (featuring a wider earth pin) for use with dedicated 15A wall outlets (common in workshops, commercial kitchens, garages, and modern caravans). If operating total appliance loads below 2400W, it can be safely used on a standard domestic 10A wall circuit via an approved 10A-to-15A adaptor.
Key Features:
- Full Bidirectional Operation: Operates as a heavy-duty step-down converter (240V to 100V / 120V) in Australia and a step-up converter (100V / 120V to 240V) for Australian gear overseas.
- Multi-Voltage Front Outlets: Independent sockets for 1 x 100V (Japan), 1 x 110V/120V (North America universal), and 1 x 240V (Australia/Universal).
- High-Retention Pressed Metal Sockets: Built with industrial pressed metal contacts for high-amperage retention, eliminating arcing and contact wear.
- Resettable Circuit Breaker (MCB): Front-panel breaker switch trips cleanly during overcurrent conditions and resets with a single click—no fuse replacements required.
- Heavy Thermal Mass & Smooth Startup: Massive core construction absorbs motor startup surges from commercial saws, compressors, and pumps without tripping switchboard safety switches.
- 5000W Power Capacity: Engineered for up to 5000 Watts intermittent/peak duty (up to 1 hour) and 3600 Watts continuous duty.
- Commercial & Defence Grade: Widely trusted across commercial workshops, catering trailers, defence base postings, and embassy personnel.
- 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-5000)
Q: Does the ST-5000 require a 15A wall power outlet?
A: Yes, for full 3600W continuous output, the unit must be plugged into an Australian 15A wall socket (which has a larger ground pin aperture). However, if your connected appliances draw less than 2400W total, the unit can be operated from a standard 10A domestic socket using an approved 10A-to-15A adaptor.
Q: Can the ST-5000 run imported American wood pellet BBQ smokers?
A: Yes. Pellet grills use high-draw electric igniter rods during startup (pulling high instantaneous wattage) alongside digital control boards, fans, and auger motors running continuously for 12+ hours. The ST-5000 provides massive surge capacity and cool-running continuous power throughout long cooks.
Q: How does the Australian 50Hz frequency affect imported 60Hz equipment?
A: The ST-5000 converts voltage (240V to 100V/120V or vice-versa), while passing through the 50Hz line frequency. Heating elements, digital controller boards, LED screens, and universal brush motors operate normally. Induction motors without electronic variable frequency drives may rotate approximately 10–15% slower, which does not cause damage.
Q: Why does my imported appliance plug require a firm push into the socket?
A: PAC transformers use heavy-gauge pressed metal pin sockets. On initial use, inserting the plug requires firm pressure. This tight tolerance ensures an arcless electrical connection and prevents loose-pin overheating under heavy 20A+ current draws.
Q: How does the circuit breaker operate on the ST-5000?
A: The ST-5000 features a front-panel resettable miniature circuit breaker (MCB). If an electrical overload or current spike occurs, the switch trips automatically. Once the overload is removed, press the switch to reset—no replacement fuses are required.
