ACME TRANSFORMER TYPES
AC Line Reactors
Acme Line Reactors prevent equipment failure and costly downtime.
Our reactors protect your sensitive equipment from harmful line disturbances
and add years to your equipment.
AC Refrigeration & Appliance
Transformers
The transformers in this section are autotransformers
designed to change a wide range of voltages to the standard
motor voltages for domestic appliances, air conditioners
and related equipment.
Acme Transformer Accessories
Acme offers a wide array of accessories for your transformers such
as
lug kits, space parts, standard taps, thermal switch kits, wall
mounting brackets and weather shields.
Buck-Boost Transformers
These
transformers provide
tremendous capabilities and flexibility in KVA sizes and
input/output voltage combinations. Basically, you get 75 different
transformers... all in one convenient package.
DC Power Supplies
Acme, with its new line of DR series, offers you an
innovative solution for many of your control applications.
Acme DC power supplies provide you with optimal performance with the
least impact on installation time and space.
Drive Isolation Transformers
The Acme Drive Isolation Transformers are
specifically designed to accommodate the
special voltages and KVA sizes unique to AC
and DC motor drive applications.
Custom Transformers
When you need a custom transformer, Acme
is a clear choice. Our reputation in high-quality, specialized
transformers offers the finest product and the best service in
the industry.
We at Acme Transformers are dedicated to providing you with the highest quality products and service. With our experienced staff and engineers, we are committed to providing you with the best .
Industrial control transformers are used to reduce supply voltages
to 230V or lower for the operation of electromagnetic devices such
as contactors, solenoids, relays, and timers. They are especially
designed to accommodate the momentary current inrush caused when
electromagnetic components are energized . . . without sacrificing
secondary voltage stability beyond practical limits. Acme Industrial
Control Transformers are dry-type, step-down transformers with the
secondary control circuit isolated from the primary line circuit to
assure maximum safety.
Acme offers a broad range of industrial control transformers to meet
the most demanding industrial applications. Our products exceed the NEMA rating for inrush and regulation to ensure
that control systems are
powered correctly. Electromagnetic control components demand inrush
currents up to ten times the transformer’s nominal rating. While this
inrush is occurring, the output side of the transformer must not
fall below 85% of nominal as specified by NEMA. Using a transformer
that does not meet these ratings may cause erroneous shutdowns of
downstream processes.
Acme offers four series of control transformers to meet your
complete control needs. The following selection chart can be used to
identify the correct transformer for your application:
- Acme Encapsulated
- Acme Finger Guard Transformers
- Acme Harsh Environments
- Acme Open Core & Coil-TA & TB Series
Sizing an Industrial Control Transformer
In addition to determining the minimum voltage
required to operate the circuit, you must determine the three
characteristics of the load circuit. These are total steady state VA
(Sealed), total inrush VA, and inrush load power factor.
Sealed VA -Is the volt-amperes that the transformer must
deliver to the load circuit for an extended period of time.
Inrush VA -Is the volt-amperes that the transformer must
deliver upon initial energization of the control circuit.
Energization of electromagnetic devices takes 30-50 milliseconds.
During this inrush period, the electromagnetic control devices draw
many times normal current (three to ten times normal is typical).
Inrush Load Power Factor is difficult to determine without
detailed vector analysis of all the load components. Generally, such
an analysis is not feasible; therefore, a safe assumption is 40%
power factor.

How to select an Acme Transformer
ACME TRANSFORMER TYPES
Dry-Type Distribution Transformers
Acme offers a wide selection of Dry-Type Transformers
from single-phase to commercial grade three-phase and low-noise
transformers.
Industrial Control Transformers
The Acme Industrial Control Transformers
offer the most advanced and versatile design concepts available to
the marketplace today. They are designed to meet Acme’s rigid
standards for mechanical durability as well as surpass agency and
industrial
electrical standards.
Low Voltage Lighting Transformers
& Power Supplies
Acme’s Low Voltage Lighting
products provide a safe, long lasting,
highly reliable power source. Acme has a perfect
selection for landscape applications
as well as interior use.
Low voltage lighting is a creative medium with unlimited application
possibilities.
Non-Linear Load Isolation
Transformers are
available in sizes ranging from 30 through 225 KVA with copper
windings and a variety of other design options and accessories.
Acme harmonic mitigating transformers offer you reduced transformer
heat, reduced voltage distortion due to third order harmonics and higher efficiency.
Panel-Tran Zone Power Centers
are a pre-wired combination
of a primary breaker disconnect, dry-type shielded transformer,
secondary breaker disconnect and a secondary power panel all in one
convenient package.
By not having to assemble, mount and wire these components, you save
money, space and time. All you have to do is add the breakers, and
you are ready to go.
Power Conditioning
Acme True-Power Products consist of specially
designed ferroresonant
transformers. Although ferroresonant transformers
have been an economical solution to power problems for many years,
it took the skills of Acme’s highly regarded engineering
staff to refine it to meet today’s exacting requirements.
