Acme T181058 Buck-boost Transformer 0.5 Kva

Product Description

The ACME T181058 is a buck-boost transformer rated at 0.5 KVA, designed to make small corrections to line voltage in commercial and residential electrical systems. Buck-boost transformers are used to raise or lower supply voltage by a fixed percentage, protecting sensitive equipment from voltage that runs slightly above or below nominal levels. At 0.5 KVA, this unit is suited for single-phase low-load circuits where precise voltage correction is required. Licensed electricians install this device in distribution panels, control circuits, or equipment branch circuits as part of standard power-conditioning work.

This transformer is typically applied in light commercial and residential installations where incoming line voltage deviates from equipment requirements. Common applications include motor control circuits, HVAC equipment branch feeds, lighting circuits, and general-purpose electrical distribution where a modest voltage correction is needed. Its compact form factor makes it suitable for installations where panel or enclosure space is limited.

Key Features

• 0.5 KVA capacity suitable for low-load single-phase voltage correction circuits
• Buck-boost design provides additive or subtractive voltage adjustment without full isolation transformer cost
• Compact and self-contained for panel or enclosure mounting
• Weighs 15 pounds, indicating a robust core construction for the KVA rating

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation buck-boost transformer for single-phase low-KVA 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. Verify that the incoming line voltage and desired output voltage are confirmed before selecting tap connections on the transformer. Ensure the enclosure or mounting location provides adequate ventilation for continuous-duty operation.
