   Buck-boost in this context refers to an electrical transformer that   
   has the primary attached across the mains, and the secondary either   
   boosts or bucks the mains voltage depending on whether it's connected   
   in phase or out of phase. It has an advantage over (say) a 240:208   
   tranformer in that the core size can be much smaller.
