The transformer is a key component and plays an important role in the process of power transmission and distribution. How to choose the best fit for your application is the first problem we have to face in the actual purchasing process.

Here are some tips below.

  • Input Voltage

Choose the single-phase transformer or the three-phase one according to your power supply phase and select a transformer that will work on the supply voltage available according to your working environment at your facility. For example, it is 110V, 208V, 220V, 240V, or 380V.

  • Windings

According to your actual use and budget, select the material of the coil, copper wire, or aluminum wire.

The copper wound model is more expensive than the aluminum wound version. Copper wound transformers are widely used in corrosive or high-humidity environments due to the excellent corrosion resistance of copper, such as in marine applications.

  • Frequency

Peaco Support isolation transformers provide both 50Hz and 60 Hz rated frequencies for your applications.

  • kVA or Amp Output

Select a transformer with VA or kVA based on your load requirements. If you oversize the transformer capacity significantly, but never to undersize for your load. For motor loads, exceeding 60% of the maximum capacity of the transformer is not allowable as electric motors have start-up requirements significantly higher than their running requirements.

  • Product Selection

Peaco Support provides a wide range of transformers (control transformers, isolation transformers, autotransformers), whose capacity ranges from 300VA to 330kVA. Firstly, choose the kVA you need, then click the according page to choose the primary voltage and secondary voltage as well as the copper wound model or aluminum wound version transformer.

Peaco Support single phase transformers and three-phase transformers input & output, capacity, voltage, current, insulation grade, etc. can be customized for you to meet special requirements.
