What is a Step Down Transformer?
Devices that are used to step
down electrical current at input power sources, which allows
voltage to be compatible with equipment. |
|
|
Voltage Transformers
Transformers that are designed
for specific applications that need specified electrical
voltage. |
|
|
Step Up Transformers
A transformer that has the
secondary winding higher than the primary allowing the
transformer to increase input voltage. |
|
|
Power Transformers
Devices that convert the
incoming line voltage to a higher or lower electrical
current to match voltage of equipment. |
|
|
Three Phase Transformers
Transformers that are used
throughout industry to change values of three phase voltage
and current. |
|
|
Isolation Transformers
Transformers that transfer
energy from the alternating current supply to an electrical
load. They prevent certain types of harmonics. |
|
|
Buck Boost Transformers
Buck Boost devices are used to
make small adjustments to incoming voltages such as
lighting applications. |
|
|
Phase Converters
Devices that convert single phase power into three phase
power. |

Buck
Boost Transformers
Buck boost transformers are
single phase, four winding transformers designed for two purposes.
The first is to reduce or raise line voltage from five to 20
percent. A good
example is boosting 208 volts to 230 volts. They have a dual voltage
primary and a dual voltage secondary.
The second use of buck boost
transformers is to use them as low voltage isolation transformers for use on
12, 16, 24, 32, or 48 colt circuits. They have capacities of .050 kVA to 5.0 kVA. Some of the applications include low voltage
landscaping lighting, and they are UL listed for outdoor service.
Buck boost transformers are ideal for changing line voltage by small
amounts. Some of the major advantages for using buck boost
transformers are their low cost, compact size and light weight. They
are also more efficient and cost less than isolation transformers.
When connected as autotransformers, they can handle loads
up to 20 times the name plate rating. A great source for all of your
buck boost transformers is
TEMCo Buck Boost Transformers.
You can be assured when buying a transformer, TEMCo or Acme
Transformers are the best transformers for your money.
When the buck boost transformer has the primary and secondary
windings connected, it becomes an autotransformer. With this
technology, only
the secondary windings are transforming voltage and current. The
majority of the KVA load passes directly from the supply to the
load. This is the reason autotransformers can supply a load with a
larger KVA rating than the nameplate indicates.
Always remember when
purchasing a step down transformer, seek out a more
reputable and experienced manufacturer such as
Acme
Step Down Transformers. A quality manufacturer will save you money in
the long run and provide many years of quality service. |
