i would call it a step down transformer but thats probably not what its called.
its basically a coil winding limiting plug output voltage. to me (a marine mechanic) it looks like a vintage outboard ignition coil.
a bit of research ive been doing on the side tells me its a safety device necessary with a plug so close to a sink in a bathroom. furthermore the powers that be make the box and faceplate an odd size to help prevent it being changed to a regular plug. now im handy with a dremel so altering the face plate isnt going to be a problem, just adjusting the wires leaving out the coil device is.
