Power Transformer Types:
Step-up Transformers - A transformer transposes alternating current (AC) from one voltage to another. Works on a magnetic induction principle that is designed to either step up or down. A step up transformer increases the voltage.

Step-down Transformers - A transformer transposes alternating current (AC) from one voltage to another. Works on a magnetic induction principle that is designed to either step up or down. A step-down transformer decreases the voltage.

Isolation Transformers - Transformers designed to provide electrical isolation without stepping voltage and current either up or down are called isolation transformers.

Custom Transformers - Offers built to order custom transformers such as dry type transformers, auto transformers, control transformers, and many more.

Buck Boost Transformers - The most common use for buck boost transformers are for boosting 208 volt lines to 230 or 240 volts, and vice-versa. These applications include both single and three phase lines.

Three Phase Transformers - Three phase transformers are used to change values of three phase voltage and current.  It is the most common way power is used. Find out about the different types of three phase transformers.
