Watch the video above to see for yourself why ACUPWR transformers are the world's safest, most energy efficient, and most reliable!
ACUPWR’s Tru-Watts™ AS-500EUD is a 500-watt/volt amp step up/step down voltage transformer converts 127 volts to 220-240 volts and vice-versa, thereby allowing electrical devices that require 127 volts to work safely in countries/regions with a 220-240-volt AC standard. (Countries using the 127-volt standard are Bonaire, Brazil, Curacao, Mexico, and Surinam.)
The AS-EUD series offers a practical power conversion solution that allows compatibility between cities and regions in Brazil that have a 127-volt or 220-240-volt AC standard. Moreover, it bridges the voltage gap between countries with a 127-volt AC standard and the two-thirds of the world that relies upon a 220-240-volt standard.
The AS-500EUD uses a NEMA 5-15R Type B output and an IEC C13 power cord input receptacle with a compatible power cord and a your choice of plug. ACUPWR offers power cords with the following plug types: Type F Schuko plug (used throughout Europe, Asia, South America, the Middle East, Africa); Type M plug (South Africa), Type G fused BS-1363 plug (United Kingdom), Type B plug (Philippines, Peru), Type I plug (Australia, New Zealand), Type J plug (Switzerland), Type D plug (India), Type H plug (Israel), Type L plug (Italy and Chile), and Type K plug (Denmark).
Customers chose their desired power cord using the options on this page. If you’re unsure of the plug shape in the country you’ll be using the transformer in, please refer to our plug chart.

Why You’ll Love It…
American-Made Quality
The AS-500EUD and all ACUPWR voltage transformers are manufactured in the USA with premium components that include copper wiring and silicon steel cores. All of our products are assembled by hand and bench-tested well beyond their stated wattage to ensure safety, reliability, and years of service.
Tru-Watts™ Power means "No Two-Times the Wattage" Rule
ACUPWR Tru-Watts™ voltage transformers are guaranteed to deliver electricity at and beyond their stated wattage capability. You would think this isn’t a big deal, but compare ACUPWR transformers with our foreign-made competition: they recommend that you buy transformer with twice or even three times the wattage capability--a rule of thumb common known as the "Two-Times the Wattage" rule--because their transformers are famous for breaking with loads that are well under their stated wattage, and also catching on fire and overheating (see our video above). With Tru-Watts™, offered only by ACUPWR, you only need to buy the transformer that offers the wattage capability required by your appliances.
Thermal Protection Sensor
The key to our Tru-Watts™ capability is our proprietary thermal protection sensor. This feature serves as an overload breaker by detecting excessive heat caused by a wattage or voltage overload, and consequently turning the transformer off. The unit returns to operation when the overheating dissipates (approximately 30 minutes). Because of this
Our thermal protection sensor makes ACUPWR the safest alternative to our competition's overload protection, which relies on an ordinary glass cartridge fuse that, as the above video demonstrates, often does not blow when their transformer is overloaded. Definitely unsafe!
Lifetime Warranty and Customer Support
ACUPWR products come with a lifetime warranty, up to $10,000 of damage protection, and ongoing customer support.
The ACUPWR AS-EUD series is also available in the following wattage sizes:
750 Watts/Volt Amps (the AS-750EUD model)
1000 Watts/Volt Amps (the AS-1000EUD model)
1500 Watts/Volt Amps (the AS-1500EUD model)
1800 Watts/Volt Amps (the AS-1800EUD model)

No 2x the Wattage Rule!
With ACUPWR voltage transformers, there’s no need to buy a transformer with more wattage capability than you need. Our products work continuously as stated in their wattage. Unbelievably, you can’t do this with our competitors; the rule of thumb when buying a foreign-manufactured voltage transformer is to buy two-times the wattage you actually need. Therefore, if your microwave requires 500 watts, our competitors will suggest buying 1000 watts. Why? Because the transformer they actually label as “500 Watts” will stop working well before it reaches its wattage limit due to poor construction and quality. With ACUPWR, you can buy what you need!
Goes Above Stated Wattage if Necessary
The ACUPWR AS-500EUD can operate at 20-percent beyond its stated wattage IF NECESSARY, such as in the event of a power surge or inrush voltage. In such an instance, It’s nice to know that that wattage “cushion” is there. Please note that we don’t recommend using an appliance with wattage requirement that is beyond what’s stated on the transformer. (Doing so can void the warranty.)
Thermal Protection (No Fuses!)
ACUPWR voltage transformers use a thermal protection circuit that detects excessive heat caused by an overload. The circuit automatically turns off the transformer and restarts the unit when it has returned to normal operating temperature.
Lifetime Warranty and Customer Support
The AS-500EUD and all ACUPWR transformers come with a lifetime warranty and continuous customer support. We encourage our customers to contact us with any concerns or questions about our products. Our response is timely, courteous, and supportive.
Versatility and Dependability
ACUPWR’s AS-500EUD and all of our transformer models can be used in any interior setting and environment, whether it’s your bedroom, a garage, a manufacturing space… wherever. They’re built like tanks and can handle dust, heat, and moisture, and they’ll keep going—quietly!—under heavy duress.
