Why Use Buck-Boost Transformers?

HPS UniversalBuck-Boost TransformerWhy Use Buck-Boost Transformers?The advantages of using a buck-boost transformer over an equivalent standard isolation transformer are:Advantages1. Used in a variety of applications2. Inexpensive and stocked voltage correction3. Smaller and lighter than an isolation transformerDisadvantages1. No circuit isolation2. Cannot create a neutral3. KVA and voltages do not match what’s on the nameplate kVAand voltages.Buck-Boost ApplicationBuck-boost transformers offer an economical solution to the adjustment of line voltages that are slightly above or below normal.When a buck-boost transformer is connected as an autotransformer, only a portion of the load kVA is actually transformed. Themajority of the load kVA is passed directly through to the source. For this reason a buck-boost transformer may be used to supply amuch larger kVA load than is indicated on the nameplate.Buck-boost transformers can be used to adjust stable voltages only.STANDARD SPECIFICATIONS50 to 1000 VA1500 to 5000 VAUL Listed:File: E50394File: E50394CSA Certified:File: LR3902File: LR3902Frequency:50/60 Hz50/60 HzInsulation System:130 C (80 C rise)180 C (115 C rise)Standard Design:Single phase, welded core construction madewith high quality, high permeability siliconsteel laminations.

Voltage is the keyBuck-boost transformers represent an economical way to both raise supply voltage caused by line drop or equipmentdemand on the distribution system, or lower voltage caused by increased system voltages due to supply line adjustments.Some loads including lighting and resistive loads require a stable supply to maintain performance. The detrimental effects ofincorrect supply line voltage can cause equipment failure. Buck-boost transformers can correct line voltage within 5 to 25%of nominal.Steps for Selecting Buck-Boost TransformersThe following information is required before selecting a buck-boost transformer:1.Line Voltage - The voltage that you want to buck (decrease) or boost (increase). This can be determined bymeasuring the supply line voltage with a voltmeter.2.Load Voltage - The voltage at which your equipment is designed to operate. This is listed on the nameplate ofthe load equipment.3.Load kVA or Load Amps - You do not need to know both - one or the other is sufficient. This informationusually can be found on the nameplate of the equipment that you want to operate. It is the sum of all theequipment that represents the load.4.Frequency - The supply line frequency must be the same as the equipment to be operated - either 50 or 60Hertz.5.Phase - The supply line should be the same as the load - either single or three phase.HPS Universal Part Number GuideProductLineQkVAC2ExampleProduct Line:5EPrimaryQ - HPS UniversalkVA 5Primary & Secondary VoltagesP/N C05 C10 C15 C20 C25 C35 C50 C75 1C0 1C5 002 003 /N SuffixERESDTWinding Material/Electrostatic ShieldTemp.
