BUCK BOOST TRANSFORMERS

RESOURCE LINKS, TYPES & DESCRIPTIONS

Buck Boost TransformersBuck Boost Transformers were developed to supply voltages for two main categories; the first of which is when the local power is consistently not high or low enough to correctly and safely run the equipment at its rated power load.

For loads demanding slightly higher voltages than available a  Buck Boost Transformer can be designed such that the majority of the line load is passed directly through to the power source while only that amount of kVA needed to adjust to corrected specifications is actually added. This allows much smaller Buck Boost Transformers to service a significantly greater supply to a load than the kVA that is indicated on the transformer nameplate.

Common examples of this application of Buck Boost Transformers would be where motors and HVAC equipment is operating on a line supplying 110V or 230V when the equipment demands 120V or 240V service. A Buck Boost Transformer is designed to lower (buck) or raise (boost) line voltage in a range of 5% to 20%.

Buck Boost Transformers are also used when significantly lower voltages are needed, as in low voltage lighting and landscape lighting.

Primary voltages running from 110V to 440V are lowered to secondary voltages as low as 12 volts, but can also be 16, 24, 32 or 48 volts and can be configured by custom design to fit other voltages.

Cons:
Buck Boost Transformers provide no circuit isolation under most common uses, the KVA and voltages do not match those on the nameplate, and they cannot create a neutral.

Pros:
They are inexpensive, smaller and lighter, more efficient, and can be used in a variety of applications. They are also often wired with at least 4 windings. This makes them more versatile because they can be wired eight different ways and provide a number of KVA and voltage choices.

Important!!! Buck Boost Transformers do not adjust for variable voltage conditions but only handle chronically existing high or low situations. You will probably need to install an AC Line Reactor to address that problem.

Warning!!! Significant damage can be incurred if some equipment and applications are run at voltages higher or lower than their rated load. Buck Boost Transformers will prevent this!
