Acme T181049 Buck-boost Transformer 0.150 Kva

Product Description

The ACME T181049 is a buck-boost transformer rated at 0.150 KVA, designed to make small adjustments to AC line voltage in commercial and light industrial electrical systems. Buck-boost transformers step voltage up or down by a fixed increment rather than providing full isolation, making them a compact and efficient solution for correcting undervoltage or overvoltage conditions at a load. At 0.150 KVA, this unit is suited for low-load applications where precise voltage correction is needed without the bulk of a full-size isolation transformer. Licensed electricians are the typical installers of this equipment.

This transformer is used in situations where incoming line voltage falls slightly above or below the required supply voltage for equipment operation. Common applications include motor loads, lighting circuits, and sensitive equipment in commercial buildings, light manufacturing, and utility service entrance corrections. The T181049 is a single-unit replacement for existing buck-boost installations or a new installation where voltage correction is specified by the electrical design.

Key Features

• 0.150 KVA capacity for low-load voltage correction applications
• Buck-boost topology adjusts line voltage by a fixed increment without full isolation
• Compact form factor suited for panel or enclosure mounting
• Applicable to both step-up and step-down voltage correction configurations

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation buck-boost transformer for low-KVA voltage correction applications in commercial and light industrial 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 connections. Verify incoming and outgoing voltage requirements against the transformer wiring diagram before completing the installation. Ensure the unit is mounted in a suitable enclosure with adequate ventilation as required by applicable codes.
