Industrial Control Transformers

Industrial Control Transformers



Industrial control transformers (also known as machine tool transformers) fill the size range from 25VA to 7500VA and up to 600volts. They are used to step-up or step-down the supply voltage for the operation of electromagnetic devices such as timers, relays, contactors or solenoid switches. A critical element in their proper usage is to supply correct voltage during short-term periods of inrush currents, providing isolation to control components from power surges and lighting circuits.

Marcus offers a broad range of control transformer options to satisfy our customer’s requirements. If the unit will be installed inside a cabinet or panel, choose our option style (MO) with standard screw terminals or with terminal block (MTB) or the finger safe encapsulated model (MTS). All open type models are available with leads upon request. For standalone installations, we have the closed type (MC) and an epoxy encapsulated model (MEC) for harsh environments. Our Buck-Boost transformer can be connected for a wide variety of voltage combinations.

Whichever model you select, you can be assured of Marcus quality. All our industrial control transformers are manufactured with bobbin-wound copper coils, incorporating high-quality insulating materials, superior grade laminations and extremely rugged solidly fixed terminals. This ensures that they operate more efficiently and are more reliable than comparable brands.

Applications of Industrial Control Transformers

Control transformers are required in circuits that require steady voltage or steady current with a low power or volt-amp rating. They are usually designed for industrial applications where electromagnetic devices such as relays and solenoids are used.

TPOA - Three Phase Auto Open Type

• Marcus Type TPOA three-phase auto transformers provide a quick and simple way to convert standard supply voltages to those special voltages required by small loads and fractional motors.
• These compact open-type copper transformers are Y-connected and are fitted with clearly labelled fiberglass terminal boards with solidly fixed connection studs for easy installation.
• Unlike the use of multiple unit buck-boost arrangements, there is no complicated internal wiring necessary and no conversion charts to decipher.
• As with all auto transformer installations, the loads are not isolated from the line source and caution should be exercised when there are electronics or computer controls present.
• Available in a full range of voltage combinations up to 3KVA.




MC - Buck/Boost Wiring

• Buck-boost transformers are small single phase transformers designed to reduce (buck) or raise (boost) the line voltage.
• The most common example is boosting 208V to 230V for motor load operation.
• Buck/Boosts are standard single phase transformers with primary voltages of 120/240 and secondary voltages of 12/24 or 16/32.
• They are available in sizes ranging 50VA to 5kva.

Applications

• When supply voltages are consistently too high or too low, the equipment fails to operate at maximum efficiency.
• Anytime you have a lower than standard voltage, equipment failure or damage can result.
• Efficient operation of electrical equipment requires that line voltage be at or near the nameplate rating of the equipment. In order to match line voltage with equipment voltage,  buck-boost transformers provide the most convenient and least expensive method.
• Do not use buck-boost transformers to solve a fluctuating voltage problem.
