Industrial Control Transformers

Application

APPLICATION

In preparation for connecting power to the primary side of dual voltage single-phase transformers, it's necessary to first wire the two windings in either series or parallel to match the incoming voltage. An example of this is common transformers with a primary voltage description of 240 x 480. The windings are rated for the lower of the two voltages show on either side of the 'x'. Connecting the windings in series allows for the higher of the two voltages. Connecting the windings in parallel allows for the lower of the two voltages.
