General Purpose Isolation Transformer

Product Overview & Application

transformerGeneral Purpose Isolation transformers are used to lower distribution voltages (480 or 600V) to lower voltages (typically 120/240 or 208Y120) for power distribution within commercial or industrial buildings. These “two windings” transformers provide the electrical isolation required, and allow for short runs of high current, low voltage cables, reducing losses in the system, and reducing costs.
 
General Purpose Isolation transformer are suitable for supplying the following type of loads
  • General purpose lighting & electrical
  • Motors (without VFD controllers)
  • Resistive Heating

Features & Benefits

  • Core and coil assemblies are mounted on neoprene isolation pads to reduce noise
  • Bolted coil terminations suitable for copper or aluminum cables
  • Front & back covers are easily removable for service
  • NEMA 1 & 3R indoor (refer to catalogue for details) powder-coat drip-proof enclosure is standard. Weather shield kit is available for conversion to NEMA 3R outdoor.
  • NEMA 3R, 4 & 4X enclosures are available. Stainless Steel or aluminum enclosures are optional.
  • CSA Certified / UL listed
  • Qualified to the seismic requirements
  • Copper (Cu) or Aluminum (Al) windings
  • Copper C&C grounding strap
  • Robust packaging with top and side protection protects against shipping damage
  • Accessible mounting flanges with front/back slotted mounting holes make installation easier
  • 100% Factory tested for shorts and coil integrity, current and loss, voltage, impedance and noise.
  • Clear, Comprehensive Documentation and labeling
  • Core Manufactured with high quality grain oriented silicon steel
