3 Phase Transformers
Used to set voltages in all 3 phase
applications where a 3 phase power supply exists.
3 Phase Converters
Convert single phase to 3 phase power when 3 phase is most desirable.
Medical Isolation Transformers
Necessary for any hospital and medical
equipment covered by state and federal safety and performance regulations.
Isolation Transformers
Separates the incoming power from that
which finally runs the equipment. Protects against unwanted characteristics
generated in the use of power within an area.
Buck Boost Transformers
Often used for low voltage applications
and raising voltage for 230V motors or 120V lighting systems;
designed to reduce (buck) or
raise (boost) line voltage from 5% to 20%.
Custom Transformers
Specific needs can be filled by custom
building a transformer to the requirements of the customer.
Step Down Transformers
Adjust voltage from high voltage
transmission lines or to correct local lines for chronically high voltage
conditions.
Step Up Transformers
Adjust voltage for transmission at higher
voltages or to correct local lines for chronically low voltages.
AC Line Reactors
Adjust, block or otherwise handle
unwanted power characteristics often generated during normal use of power in
an area.
Acme Transformers
A reliable leading American transformer
distributing company.
Hammond Transformers
Originated as a family -owned and run
company and is now a nation-wide distributor!
Jefferson Transformers
In business over 93 years; supplying a
diverse selection of products to an equally diverse clientele. |
PURPOSE AND APPLICATIONS
OF STEP UP TRANSFORMERS
Step Up Transformers
raise existing voltages to meet
requirements specific to whatever demand is being met.
 The
first application for Step Up Transformers in a power
transmission system is in conversion of power coming from a generator or
power source to a
very high voltage of 69 kV to 765 kV or higher as transmission of power is
much more efficient at exceedingly high voltages. If voltage is increased by
ten and amperage reduced by ten through use of a Step Up Transformer,
loss of energy due to resistance in the line (in long distance power
transmission) reduces by a factor or 100!
Though local
distribution stations may usually require Step Down Transformers (since
voltages will usually be reduced and relayed for further reduction to even more local and smaller
transformers) there are times power may be split off and rerouted to other
areas. In this case Step Up Transformers may be used. Additionally, There
may be times when local power generation systems add power into the grid,
and in this case the power will also require a Step Up Transformer to merge
this additional power into the distribution and power transmission system at
a voltage matching the system at that point.
Step Up
Transformers can be used whenever a voltage is constantly lower than
desired and simply raising to a higher constant voltage will meet the need.
Conversion is a simple matter of an incoming circuit with a specific number
of windings which will induce a current in a set of outgoing windings (the
incoming windings fewer in a specific ratio to those of the outgoing
circuit). This will result in a higher voltage and a correspondingly lower
amperage.
Step Up
Transformers and Step Down Transformers are simple reversals of purpose
with a correspondingly simple similarity of construction. In fact, there are
times when they could actually be wired in backwards to fulfill their
opposite's job. However, it is critical to note that carelessly doing so may
damage equipment since the ratio of windings must be exact and convert the
specific source of voltage to the specific voltage needed.
