What is a low voltage General Purpose Transformer?

A low voltage General Purpose Transformer is a standardized transformer for non-specialized applications (i.e., to supply power to tools, equipment, lighting, and other types of applications) in the 600 V class. General Purpose Transformers often have numerous voltage configurations, standardized isolation, and most often come enclosed in either an indoor or outdoor enclosure.

Quality

Our General Purpose Transformers are built with quality first. We optimize our designs and builds to fit your specific application. This ensures you are getting a transformer sized to meet your electrical requirements while reducing the footprint as much as possible. In addition, our transformers are certified NRTL to UL 506 or 1561 and when placed in an assembly, can be certified to 508A.

Termination Options

We offer the choice in termination options for our General Purpose Transformers when possible. This can help customers standardize their terminals, speed-up installation time and help prevent mistakes. Often, we terminate to a terminal board using silicon bronze hardware. All of our terminal boards are clearly marked and include voltages for taps and torque values to ease installation.
