Technical Data
50/60 Hertz
Transformers that are dual rated for 50/60 Hz are truly global units and no derating is required for voltages or VA. (Type T are 50/60 Hz; Type EO are 60 Hz with
Base Plates
The development of welded cores has allowed the incorporation of base plates on larger VA transformers. Base plates are usually welded to the core of the transformer for a solid connection to the transformer. They allow manufacturers to offer more standardized mounting for specific VA sizes by allowing multiple core stacks. Available for Type T transformers only.
Being able to offer
Type T transformers can be made Fingersafe® by using
Formed Terminal Board
Formed terminal boards are used on multiple VA ranges and different voltage combinations. This allows the manufacturer to punch jumpers for customer interconnections and gives the customer the same basic layout for all units. The
Varnish Vacuum Impregnation
This is a manufacturing process for the core and coil of industrial control transformers. The transformer is put into a tank of varnish, then the varnish is put into a vacuum, causing the varnish to be forced throughout the coil and core. After being vacuum impregnated, the units are cured in an oven to seal the varnish. The varnish is absorbed by any paper insulation system and coats other insulation with another layer of electrical strength. The process causes the coil to have a very tight connection because it is completely bonded and mechanically very strong. The cores are also tightly bonded with the varnish, causing the units to have better heat transfer and less vibration noise.
Schneider Electric uses this process on all control transformers, using a clear varnish with optimum electrical characteristics.
