electrical voltage.

Isolation
Transformers
allows signal or
power to be taken
from one device
and fed into
another without
electrically
connecting the two.

designed to meet
certain
performance
specifications and
size requirement
that you require.
There is a wide
range of custom
transformer types.


Buck Boost
Transformers 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

as well.

Polarity
The H1 polarity mark is molded into the case, above the window at one end. The X1 polarity mark is also
molded into the case adjacent to the secondary terminal. Both H1 and X1 are also marked with white dots.
Primary Bars
Formed from copper tube, they are tin-plated. They are non-removable and have a potential connector that
can be attached above or below the bar at either end. Primary bars conform to ANSI C12.11.
Nameplates
The nameplate is a polyester label attached to the molded case. A polyester rating label is attached to the
side of the unit and identifies the nominal current rating in large numerals.
Baseplate and Mounting
The transformer can be mounted in any position and may be suspended from the bus-bar or cable. It has
provision for attaching two optional bases. Bases are made from heavy steel and plated. The high base
increases the transformer height by 2 inches and meets the dimensions specified in ANSI C12.11
Maintenance
These transformers require no maintenance, other than occasional cleaning if installed where air
contamination is severe.

Definitions
Electrical Transformers -
Electrical Transformers are devices
used to raise or lower the voltage
of alternating current. For

over long distance in high voltage
power lines and then transformers
lower the voltage so that the
power can be used by a business
or household.
Isolating Transformers - An
Isolating Transformer is a
transformer, 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.
Transmission Power Lines - A
Transmission Line is the material
medium or structure that forms all
or part of a path from one place to
another for directing the

coaxial cables, dielectric slabs,
option fibers, electric power lines,
and waveguides.
