Acme T111684 Buck-boost Transformer 1.5 Kva

Product Description

The ACME T111684 is a 1.5 KVA buck-boost transformer designed to make small voltage corrections in single-phase AC electrical systems. Buck-boost transformers step voltage up or down by a modest percentage, allowing equipment to operate within its rated voltage range when the supply voltage runs slightly high or low. At 1.5 KVA, this unit handles light commercial and residential electrical loads. It is typically installed by licensed electricians during service upgrades, equipment installations, or voltage-correction projects where a full isolation transformer is not required.

Buck-boost transformers like the T111684 are commonly used in commercial buildings, light industrial facilities, and residential service applications where supply voltage deviates from equipment nameplate ratings. Typical applications include correcting low-voltage conditions on motor circuits, HVAC equipment, and lighting systems. The transformer connects as an autotransformer in the circuit, making efficient use of its KVA rating to deliver a corrected output voltage to the downstream load.

Key Features

• 1.5 KVA capacity suitable for light commercial and residential voltage-correction applications
• Buck-boost configuration provides small voltage adjustments without requiring a full-sized isolation transformer
• Single-phase AC application with autotransformer wiring flexibility
• Weighs 30 pounds, indicating a robust core and coil assembly

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-install buck-boost transformer for single-phase voltage-correction applications in residential and light commercial electrical systems.

Installation Notes

Installation must be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC). De-energize and lock out the circuit before making any wiring connections. Buck-boost transformers require correct primary and secondary wiring configuration to achieve the intended voltage correction — consult the wiring diagram supplied with the unit before connecting. Enclose the transformer in a suitable enclosure rated for the installation environment if not already panel-mounted.
