Voltage selection by means of metal connection bridges, offering the full rated power at any
selected combination of input and output voltages.

Applications
Control Transformer: Transformer able to supply a high instantaneous power without voltage drop at the output. Very
suitable for interlocking contactors, relays and electro valves, as well as adaptation of the mains voltage to the
necessary supply voltage of the loads.

Isolation Transformer: Transformer with secondary voltage > 50 V, with double or reinforced isolation between primary and
secondary. Its construction provides an excellent degree of attenuation of electrical distortions. Recommended for:
- Electronic equipment, PLCs and automation systems.
- Auxiliary elements in electrical panels.
- Linear and switching power supplies.
Eliminates the risk of human accidents in case of unipolar contacts.

Safety Transformer: Transformer with secondary voltage < 50 V, with double or reinforced isolation between primary
and secondary. Eliminates any risk of human accidents in case of unipolar or bipolar contacts.

Ordering special transformers

The N series transformers are available in special executions, with special voltages, special power ratings, distribution of power ratings,
regulations , electrostatic screens , etc . When ordering, specify the characteristics different from the standard ones and following reference:

Reference NS

Voltage selection system

Example:

To select a supply voltage

400 V, place the metal bridge
between terminal 2 - 3 and
connect the supply cables to
terminals 1 and 5.

In case the transformer is a

NA , and bridges are placed
between terminals 6 - 7 and
between terminals 8 - 9, an
output voltage of 6 V ( V21 ) is
obtained between terminals 7
Reference V21 V22 and 8.

SINGLE PHASE CAST RESIN TRANSFORMER FOR CONTROL, ISOLATION AND SAFETY

Determination of a control transformer

For calculation and selection of a transformer to be used for control and interlocking, following data is necessary:

1_ VA maint. The sum of the maintenance power ratings of all elements: contactors, relays, electro valves, signal lights, etc...
2_ VA conn. The maximum sum of the connection power ratings of the elements that trip simultaneously during switching
operations.
3_ cos maint. and conn. of each of the elements of the switching sequence.

A ) Calculation for transformer selection, example:

In the example, the maintenance power rating is the sum of the total VA maint. of the three contactors and the maximum sum of the
connection power ratings is occurring when during a switching operation the biggest contactor trips.

Main data:
Maintenance During connection
Number of contactors VA maint. cos maint. VA conn. cos conn.
2 10 0,28 68 0,8
1 62 0,25 860 0,41
Consider cos = 0,5 when not known
Calculation:

VA total = VA maint. + VA conn.

VA total = (10+10+62) + 860 = 942 VA Instantaneous power

W total = [VA maint. x cos maint.] + [VA conn. x cos conn.]

W total = [ (10x0,28) + (10x0,28) + (62x0,25) ] + (860x0,41) = 373,7 W

cos = W total / VA total

cos = 373,7 / 942 = 0,40 cos (when not coinciding, use the one immediate superior)

B ) Using the table for transformer selection:

In line cos (0,40), look for the instantaneous power value equal or immediate superior to the calculated total instantaneous power (1138
VA) in order to obtain the transformer reference. In case of the example, the reference of the transformer to be used is N 315. Check that the
transformer power rating is superior to the VA maint. of the contactors, signal lights and other elements to be supplied by the transformer.
