Default Foreign Travel voltage converter (1500Watts 220V to 120V)

Hi all fellow techs!!

I wonder what they put in those very small devices.It is certainly not
a real power transformer. Low power devices (50W) contain an
autotransformer.(I took one apart)

I think it might be some kind of dimmer (good only for resistive
loads).
Has anyone taken one of those gadgets apart??

Many thanks for your feedback.

Jacques
