These are
step up/down transformers that can convert USA 110V to Japan 100V or Japanese 100V to American 110V/120V. These
voltage transformers are meant for using japanese products in the USA or for using american products in Japan.
TRANSFORMER PURCHASE GUIDE: Remember to leave at least a 100% slack for the transformer. For the TVs, the power surge margin is 5 times the wattage of the TV. Heating appliances, laser printers and power tools spike when you turn them on. For these products you need to buy a transformer that is at least 3 times the items capacity.
