Thanks! 3A fuse for a 2A input?Kettle lead/PC/C13 lead with suitable fuse, looks to be 3A, will be fine.
Can I just use any old kettle cord / PC cord that will fit?
3A fuse for a 2A input?
An interesting lesson: thanks Zozo and all 👍Yes, it will fit any C13 connector...
It's not the input it's the output that makes the consumption. And the maximum for the converter is output 24 volts x 2.75A = 66 watts. This means if you connect a 24-volt device that exceeds 66 watts consumption the converter will overheat and shut down. They all have thermal protection nowadays.
The fuse in the 220-volt main cable will blow only with a physical shortcut in the main circuit. A shortcut in the 24 volts circuit will shut down the converter.
Why the converter states 110 - 220 V x 2.0A = 440 watt doesn't actually make much sense, simply make sure you don't connect a pump that consumes more than 66 Watt or 2.75A and your good to go.

Mmm hang on - it this the wrong convertor for this pump then?
Actually it's a bit of a muddle: the online info talks about both 24v and 36v... 🤨Yes, it will fit any C13 connector...

Our posts crossed! Thanks again - makes sense 👍Obviously, the output of the converter is 24 volts and the pump is 36 volts... This means you will come 10 volts short to run the pump full power.
With DC pumps the startup voltage is actually important... This means if it starts at the lowest setting of the controller it might be no problem and it will still run. But in significantly reduced performance and not at 6500lph.
The other way around would be a problem such as connecting a 24-volt pump to a 36-volt output it could burn the pumps circuit.
Anyway, this pump can never consume 70 watts running at 24 volts, because 24 volts will underpower/dim it in RPM... I suspect it is good to go... If it doesn't perform to expectation or doesn't start up at the lowest setting you would need a 36-volt + 70 watts output converter.
