HotLogic Warming Totes For Travel

[notyettaken]

An adapter is just simple wires to let a US plug connect to a foreign outlet, however the voltage stays the same (240v). A converter lowers the voltage to 120.

some math:

A hotlogic mini uses 40W at 120V

so how many amps is it drawing
W=V*A so A=W/V 40/120=0.3333A 

what is the resistance
R=V/A  120/0.3333=360 Ohms
so a hot logic has a resistance of 360 Ohms

Now lets see what happens if I give it 240 volts.

Watts = Volts*Amps
V=240

how many amps will it draw A=V/R
we know R is 360 so 240/360= .6667

.6667A*240V=160W

So if you use an adapter instead of a converter it is putting out 4x more heat then it is rated for.
It is possible that it has a thermostat to prevent overheating but it does not seem like a good idea to rely on it

Thanks for the explanation.

Now, the solution: what kind of converter do I need?
Is this good?

Can I use it with two HL max?

Should be fine it is rated for 200w, the HL is 100w each?

A particular converter has been linked to many times in this thread. It'll power two hotlogics at once.

Any feedback on using the MAX on the plane?

It was there before, but I bolded it for you.

Also the converter was OOS yesterday.

I use this every day in my office and it’s great. I Put my lunch in the morning and it’s hot and ready whenever I want to eat lunch.

 I Also used a mini last month on a UA flight to BER, what a game changer.
