	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.
	Acme Transformers Acme Transformers is an industrial leader offering superior service, quality products and technical service.
	Ace Phase Converters Ace Phase Converter has been in business for 25 years and their professional and experienced engineering staff can assist you with your phase converter application requirements.

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.

Step Down Transformers come in sizes as small as thumb nails to as large as big power grid units.
