Low Voltage Dry-Type Transformers

What type of low voltage dry type transformer do I need?

Low voltage dry type transformers come in a variety of categories, including buck boost transformers, K factor transformers, drive isolation transformers and general purpose transformers. Whether you choose to use it for a residential, commercial or industrial application will guide exactly what type of low voltage dry type transformer you will need.

If your application requires a relatively low kVA, a buck boost transformer would be appropriate. If you need something a little more heavy duty, you might want to lean towards a low voltage drive isolation transformer. All of these can be used for low voltage applications at less than 1000V (1 kV).

What can I expect from my low voltage dry type transformer?

When you choose a dry type transformer, there are a number of advantages. For one, dry type transformer maintenance is relatively low compared to their liquid or oil filled counterparts. This is also directly related to dry type transformer life expectancy, which is also substantially longer since their coils typically do not need to be cleaned as often. Longevity, durability, efficiency, and safety are all fundamental qualities of these dry type transformers.

Common uses for low voltage dry type transformers include motor operation, low voltage industrial applications, as well as institutional applications in schools, hospitals, and more.
