Buck-Boost Transformers
Buck-boost transformers are designed to either reduce or raise the line voltage from 5 to 20 percent. They are basically small in size and single phase transformers. The buck-boost transformers are the perfect solution for changing line voltage by small amounts. They are beneficial because of their small size, their cost and they don't weigh very much. When the primary and secondary windings are connected to the buck-boost transformer, it now becomes an autotransformer. This means that the secondary windings are only transforming the voltage and current. The KVA load passes directly from the supply to the load when this takes place. Therefore, it can supply a load with a much larger KVA rating than what is indicated on the nameplate. There are two basic types of buck-boost transformers. One being a self adjusting and the other a passive. The adjusting type of buck-boost transformers adjust the outgoing voltage to an acceptable range. The system will sense a variance in the incoming voltage and will either lower or boost the voltage accordingly. The passive type of buck-boost transformers are generally used with larger equipment in which the amount of voltage is fixed. The passive buck-boost transformers are used quite often when using a piece of European equipment in the United States. While only adjusting the voltage, buck-boost transformers do not adjust the frequency or the cycles of the electricity. If your equipment requires 50Hz in the United States, you cannot use buck-boost transformers unless the equipment is designed to run at 50Hz or 60Hz. The power plants in the United States use a 60 Hz system so therefore, the buck-boost transformers work fine. If you are using a piece of equipment that requires the voltage to be either lowered or boosted, you should always use a buck-boost transformer. Serious damage could occur to the equipment if you do not use a buck-boost transformer. When you operate the equipment at a voltage that is lower than the amount that is rated, the amperage load could rise and cause major damage like melting of the wires or parts to the equipment. The same goes if you are operating the equipment with a voltage that is too high. Other types of damage can occur and drastically reduce the life and service of the equipment and can cause complete failure to the equipment. That is why using buck-boost transformers is so important as they are a very economical way of correcting these problems.
