KEMP, Texas, Nov. 20, 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 three-phase step-down Buck and Boost transformer with an 88.6 kVA rating, primary voltage of 480V Delta and secondary voltage of 440V Delta. This unit uses a maximum of 104.17 amps on the primary side and provides up to 114.83 amps on the secondary side.
The MT-BBT-480D-440D-3P-114.83A three-phase Buck and Boost step-down transformer provides protection against critical equipment failure and extra protection by isolating the power source from the connected device. This unit’s core is made of non-aging, cold-rolled silicon steel laminations and is configured without a neutral. The core is coated to prevent moisture and is electrically balanced to minimize axial forces in the event of a short circuit.
Larson Electronics’ three-phase transformer can be mounted on the floor or wall and features a 180˚C insultation with a 115˚C temperature rise. This highly efficient device has lower heat emissions and has a NEMA 3R painted steel enclosure suitable for both indoor and outdoor use. NEMA 4, 4X and 12 enclosures are also available.
Suitable applications for this transformer include air conditioners, lighting systems, heating elements, motor applications and other applications that that require the ability to power loads that differ from the available line voltage. Some limitations to consider with this unit are that the device will only transform voltage and will not convert phases. The unit does not have circuit isolation and does not create a neutral for applications where a neutral is already present.
"Our three-phase buck and boost transformers are designed to help applications maximize performance and maintain a longer lifespan," said Rob Bresnahan, CEO of Larson Electronics LLC. "This technology was designed with the operator in mind, so they can run their equipment safely while saving on energy cost."
