Open Core and Coil Industrial Control Transformers (TA & TB Series)

Acme's TA and TB series are dry-type step-down transformers with an open core and coil design. These units are designed specifically for industrial control applications where the energizing of electromagnetic components creates high in-rush current that must be accommodated without sacrificing the voltage stability in the secondary circuit. The TA series is available up to 5000 VA. The TB series products are offered with ratings from 50VA to 1000 VA; all units are 50/60 Hz rated.

The Acme Electric AE and CE Series Industrial Control Transformers are designed specifically for machine tool control circuit applications. These transformers have the ability to handle potentially damaging high in-rush currents that occur when electromagnetic components are energized, without sacrificing the required stable output voltage. Designed to meet or exceed the demands of international standards combined with the full breadth of product offering, the AE and CE Series Transformers from Acme Electric are the ideal solution for your industrial control applications.

The AE and CE Series design improves the dissipation of the heat away from the core and coil assembly providing cooler operation. In addition, the AE and CE Series industrial control transformers seal the transformer's windings and internal terminations within an epoxy encapsulated encased in a durable thermoplastic end cap, protecting them from potentially damaging moisture, dirt and other ambient contaminants. Furthermore, Acme's compact design helps minimize the mounting footprint, providing more flexibility in applications where space is a premium.

The Acme Finger/Guard line of Touch-Protected Industrial Control Transformers offers the most advanced and versatile design concepts available to the marketplace today.

They are designed to meet Acme's rigid standards for mechanical durability as well as surpass Agency and Industry electric standards. The Finger/Guard line is designed for all control applications and features integrally installed, durable molded plastic terminations designed to protect against contact with live components. No slip-on plastic covers to be broken, lost or misplaced.

Some specifications require installation of large control transformers, usually 1000 to 5000 VA outside of the control cabinet. This means the transformer must be in a sheet metal enclosure instead of the usual open core and coil construction method.

Acme meets this need by providing all of the power, protection, regulation and performance of our standard industrial control transformers in one UL-3R enclosure. These transformers are wound with copper magnet wire, deliver full nameplate capacity, and provide the high regulation required in control applications. All units are UL listed, CSA certified, and covered by Acme's exclusive 10-year limited warranty.

Buck-Boost Transformers are small single phase transformers designed to reduce (buck) or raise (boost) line voltage from 5-20%. The most common example is boosting 208 volts to 230 volts, usually to operate a 230 volt motor such as an air-conditioner compressor, from a 208 volt supply line.

Buck-Boost Transformers are an economical way to correct a potentially very serious problem. Anytime a line voltage charge in the 5-20% range is required, a Buck-Boost Transformer should be considered as your first line of defense.
