As you can see in the attached photo, there are two non-user replaceable fuses. The vertical fuse is for the adaptor (no change in voltage). The horizontal fuse is for the converter (Change 240 to 120 volts). Overload will blow that fuse and render that portion inoperative. Adaptor portion is rated for 575 watts at 230 volts. 240V hair dryers will draw 1,200 watts, or more than twice rated power, blowing the fuse. And 2,400 watts if you accidently left it on the 120 volt setting. So you cannot use the adapter portion for hair dryers and other heating appliances that consume more than 575 watts. Device is designed only for 120V hair dryers. The converter portion is rated for up to 1,875 watts (for 120 volt appliance) I could not read the fuse ratings. In the photo, the vertical fuse for the adapter portion is blown (fuse element is melted open), rendering the adaptor portion inoperative.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.
