Low Voltage Transformers
A Low Voltage Transformer is an electrical device that transforms 120 volts (line voltage) into 12 volts or 24 volts (low voltage). Some uses for low voltage transformer are in landscaping lighting.
Single Phase Transformers
In electrical engineering, single-phase electric power refers to the distribution of electric power using a system in which all the voltages of the supply vary in unison. Single-phase distribution is used when loads are mostly lighting and heating, with few large electric motors.
Three Phase Transformers
Three Phase Transformers must have 3 coils or windings connected in the proper sequence in order to match the incoming power and therefore transform the power company voltage to the level of voltage needed while maintaining the proper phasing or polarity.
Auto Transformers
An Autotransformer is an electrical transformer with only one winding. The winding has at least three electrical connection points called taps. Autotransformers are frequently used in power applications to interconnect systems operating at different voltage classes, for example 138 kV to 66 kV for transmission. Another application is in industry to adapt machinery built for 480 V supplies to operate on the local 600 V supply.
Step-up Transformer
A transformer designed to increase voltage from primary to secondary is called a step-up transformer. A Step-Up Transformer is one whose secondary voltage is greater than its primary voltage. This kind of transformer "steps up" the voltage applied to it.
Step-down Transformer
A transformer designed to reduce voltage from primary to secondary is called a step-down transformer. A Step-Down Transformer is designed to reduce voltage from primary to secondary. They can range from sizes from .05 KVA to 500 KVA
Isolation Transformer
Allows signal or power to be taken from one device and fed into another without electrically connecting the two. Often with symmetrical windings, which is used to decouple two circuits. An Isolation transformer allows an AC signal or power to be taken from one device and fed into another without electrically connecting the two circuits. Isolation transformers block transmission of DC signals from one circuit to the other, but allow AC signals to pass.
Custom Transformers
Are designed to meet certain performance specifications and size requirement that you require. There is a wide range of custom transformer types.
Buck Boost Transformer
is a ideal solution for changing line voltage by small amounts. Often used to buck (lower), or boost (raise) the voltage from 208v to 240v for lighting applications.
Pole Mounted Transformers
are mounted to poles for overhead electrical lines. Used in various applications. Are available in single phase or three phase transformers.
Medium Voltage Transformers
are used with a medium range of voltages. They come in a full range from liquid-filled, convention dry type as well as cast coil.
Pad Mounted Transformers
are a excellent choice for commercial and industrial such as manufacturing facilities, refineries, office buildings, schools, hospitals, restaurants, and retail stores. They come in various sizes and can be used underground as well.
High Voltage Transformers
typically these voltage transformers are used in power transmission applications. High voltage transformers are also used in microwave. There are many different types of voltage transformers. A High Voltage Transformer operates with high voltages. Typically, these voltage transformers are used in power transmission applications, where voltages are high enough to present a safety hazard.
K-Factor Transformers
Some transformers are now being offered with a k-factor rating. This measure the transformer's ability to withstand the heating effects of non-sinusoidal harmonic currents produced by much of today's electronic equipment and certain electrical equipment.
