	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.

Power Transformers
 

There are many different types of power transformers, and each one does a specific job.  An excellent website to learn about the different transformers is Power Transformer Co.  On this site, you will find information about what a transformer is and how it works.

A transformer is a simple device and has no moving parts.  It is a completely static solid state device, which has few operating problems resulting in many years of trouble-free service. The simplest of these transformers is comprised of two or more cores of insulated wire wound on a laminated steel core.  When the power transformer introduces voltage to one core, also called the primary, it magnetizes the iron core. Then the voltage is induced in the secondary coil, or sometimes called the output coil.  If the coils have an equal number of loops, their input and output will be equal.  If the output coil has more voltage, it’s called a step-up transformer.  If the input coil has more voltage, it’s called a step down transformer.

Power Transformers are not limited to one output coil.  They can provide a whole range of voltage sources from the one input coil by using separate windings on the secondary side.

Power Transformers come in a large range of sizes from a thumbnail-size coupling transformer used in microphones to huge units, which are used by power companies to provide our electricity.  To work with a quality manufacturer, we recommend TEMCo Step Down Transformers.  They offer quality transformers backed up by offering a great warranty.  When companies provide long-term warranties, you know that they stand behind their products.

There are three pieces of information you will need in your selection of the right power transformers:

• Determine primary voltage and frequency

• Determine secondary voltage required

• Determine the capacity required in volt-amperes

Always remember when purchasing a power transformer, seek out a more reputable and experienced manufacturer such as  TEMCo and  Acme Step Down Transformers . A quality manufacturer will save you money in the long run and will provide you many years of quality service.

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