Great info! Most Folks never deal with these. In the "Good Old Daze", those Xfrmrs Dint have the Fuse Bloxx on them. That's so much better than the Past models offered. Thanxx for offering good info to the Werld! L8R
Now show a buck & boost transformer. Wiring those things will drive most people to blow a fuse. I had a hard time even trying to explain one to me boss when I had to put one own our air compressor. Line voltage 208 and compressor needed 230.
I just wired one in yesterday it was a 480 stepping down to a 24v wired to a toggle switch because it is for a burner that doesn't need to be on all the time. It kept blowing the fuse though. Found out i wired the switch wrong and was sending the 24v back to itself. Good lesson on it to learn.
You first lesson. Don't touch. If do pull disconnect use your left hand. That way you are not standing directly in front of the switch. If it blows that door doesn't land on your face.
With the output, what is the potential to ground? I mean is there a hot and neutral like mains? One line @120v one 0 or is it +60&-60 180° out of phase instead? I need to go from 120 to 240 like mains. I got the ±60 from ground , 120v total and need to go to 240 , 120 over ground, can I use that transformer for that? What are common places I will find such transformers? What's a PLC?
The neutral is the center tap on the secondary side winding. And yes you can use a transformer to “step up” also. You can put 120vac on the primary and get 240vac out of the secondary I’m such a transformer. A PLC is a “programmable logic controller” it’s like an industrial microprocessor for industrial applications like automation. The place I get all my logic stuff is www.AutomationDirect.com hope this helps. Thanks for the great comment!!!
If you have a PLC that is AC powered it probably needs to be upgraded. NFPA70e and the low voltage directive would have me getting rid of as much AC power as possible. Building panels with less then 48v means less PPE. But if your just replacing a transformer for a PA2 power supply for a CompactLogix, then I get it. (Chiller panel)
I am NOT an electrician but I can tell you that IF that transformer HUMS….you did something wrong!!! Turn it off immediately and review. I use a lot of 120 and 240’s to 24vac transformers.
Very nicely done. Great demonstration
Thank you! Cheers!

Keep posting .you're doing great! I hope you do more,!
Thank you, I sure will!!
3 phase is something I still don’t understand…… I mean…..I totally get it…..no,no I don’t.
Check out the video I made just about 3 phase power. How power is generated and distributed

Those bussman cartridge fuses are very expensive, I swap them out with 2 pole MCB's.
Oh snap! 🎉
No Optimus Prime jokes yet? Guess I'm THAT guy again.
I've wired one into a industrial washing machine that suffered a domino effect break down.

Do you have a video about PLCs?
I will, stay tuned!!
Just got a job as a Maintenance Tech for a foundry and I am lost when it comes to electrical. Thinking about taking some classes at the tech school

Does it work backwards ?
Giving it 120 will it give u 240 ?
Wired for 120v out, measure 135v out, close enough?
For this application, yes. My PLC will accept 120-240vac line voltage for power. So it will work fine for it’s intended purpose. Thanks!!
Acronyms because everybody knows what a PLC is.

@@dansproshop so a PLC is like a heavy duty raspberry pi?, like the tow truck is to the Ford viper 😏
For lack of a better comparison… yes. Lol

The Waffle House has found it’s new host
I would say 248 v to 135 v is too high especially when 10% is max over standard voltage i would wire it 220- 120
And then check voltages...
