How to Select a Transformer
Selecting the right voltage transformer is simple. Review the following considerations to determine the best fit for your application. Then, select a transformer from one of the tables below.
Input VoltageSelect a transformer that will operate on the supply voltage available at your facility (Example: 120V, 240V, or 480V). To ensure compatibility, check the wiring diagram by clicking a part number and viewing its product page. FrequencyAll the transformers in this section are rated for both 50 and 60 Hz, for use worldwide. |
WindingsCopper wound models cost more than the equivalent aluminum wound versions. The primary advantage of copper is its superior corrosion resistance. Copper wound transformers are commonly used for corrosive or high humidity environments like marine applications, and when cost is not a factor. kVA or Amp OutputSelect a transformer with kVA based on your load requirements. It is fine to oversize significantly, but never to undersize for your load. For motor loads, do not exceed 60% of the maximum capacity of the transformer, because electric motors have start up requirements significantly higher than their running requirements. |
