Yes, they are available, but you probably pay more than in the USA. I
was at one stage working with several Aust navy types, and they were
buying 230-115vac transformers like hot cakes, they had got hold of
some reseller (in VT) of chinese made ones, I bought one as well,
about USD65 for a 3.5 KVA one. Significantly cheaper than here, and
thus far has never missed a beat, even when drawing 5KVA for short
periods.
