KEMP, Texas, Nov. 06, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Larson Electronics, a Texas-based company with over 40 years of experience spearheading the industrial lighting and equipment sectors, announced the release of a single-phase buck and boost step-up transformer. This unit increases 208 volts to 230 volts with a 4.77 KVA rating using a maximum of 22.9 amps on the primary side and 20.8 amps on the secondary side. This unit is used in situations where the line-voltage is lower than the required voltage for the equipment.
The MT-BBT-208V-230V-20.8A bust and buck step-up transformer has a core made of non-aging, cold-rolled silicon steel laminations and high-quality aluminum wire that is used for the winding. Each core is coated to prevent moisture from entering the unit and are electrically balanced to minimize axial forces during short circuits. The transformer is encapsulated in silica sand and resin with a NEMA 3R painted steel enclosure. NEMA 4, NEMA 4X and NEMA 12 are also available upon request.
This transformer by Larson Electronics is ideal for both indoor and outdoor applications. This unit can be wall or floor mounted and features integrated wall mountings for easy installation.
