it's not what you know...

Hi, Just need some guidance or direction regarding if we can have 110/120V dedicated wiring socket in NZ homes ?

 

 

 

I bought a device from US and using a 2000W stepdown transformer and its working perfectly fine.

 

Issue is - Transformer makes humming noise 24/7 so I was thinking if I can put that transformer in garage or next to power distribution and have separate switch/breaker and from there a 110/120V wire terminates to wall socket ?

 

So transformer can make humming sound in garage and we can have dedicated 110/120V socket in room with device plugged in.

 

Any thoughts or ideas or can do or cant do ?

 

Any expert electricians who can guide or help, will really appreciate.

 

Thanks everyone, appreciate all your ideas and feedback.

Can something like below be done ? if we keep this wiring isolated from existing house wiring ? by only making it operational when transformer is working.

Idea 1 - Power Transformer from wall socket in garage > Install Input socket running from garage to room outlet - Totally separate from house wiring.

It will only work once transfer output in plugged into new wall socket.

NZ wall sockets will work on both sides as they have NZ/AU Plug type.
