Flexibility of custom isolation transformers

Why do we custom isolation transformers? Flexibility is the key advantage, among the others. Here we list a few options and actually there are more than meet the eye. 

Above i a multi-tapped primary and a balanced power output. User can connect to either one of the input based on their input primary voltage. User can also select to boost or buck the output voltage if the user connects to a higher or lower tap to achieve the desired output voltage.


Other than input voltage adaptation, and output voltage tuning, custom isolation transformers can have multiple inter-isolated outputs by having separate secondaries with different (or the same) VA to cater for different gears that have different power consumption, and input voltage requirements. Inter-isolated means the secondaries are shielded from interfering from each other rather than affecting each other for quieter operations, on top of being shielded from the primary / incoming mains. 


Above is a super flexible isolation transformer where user can fine tune to 16 combination of voltages, step-up, down, or equal. The step can be 10V-step as what's shown above, or 5V-step, or 20V-step, up to user's requirement. 


Balanced outputs can be tuned too, not just unbalanced outputs. User can have +/- 110V, or +/-120V, or others. Just let us know. 

Other than the above, another example would be to have multiple secondaries with multiple VAs and voltage requirements, connected to several output sockets so that user can connect to source, pre-amplifier, power amplifier, DAC, AV equipment, and etc. Outputs can be balanced or unbalanced, or both. 

Another even more extreme case is, in a single chassis fully built isolation transformer system, internally it can have multiple physically separated isolation transformers, each supplying to a single socket to the external world. This would save space by taking up only 1 rack space than multiple, and yet have the beauty of each equipment connecting to a separate isolation transformer. 

The possibilities are limitless. Take the advantage now and reach out to us in the left panel contact us form.
