Products -> Standard Variable Transformers -> Single Phase Variable Transformers - Varivolt Range

Single Phase Variable Transformers - Varivolt Range

These variable voltage autotransformers provide a trouble free and an efficient means of varying/controlling AC voltages. Variation of the output voltage is achieved by means of a brush arm with a carbon tip which rotates around a silver plated commutator.

Rotation of the brush arm is performed manually on our standard units. They enable the user to vary the output voltage from zero volts to 100% or 112% of the line voltage, depending on model and wiring connections used.

Some models are also supplied as standard with a centre tap for use in Buck-Boost systems.

Special Designs

If your requirements vary from any of the above standard models, we can provide a bespoke item to suit your application. Such variations may include:-

  • Higher currents
  • Non Standard Variable Supplies
  • Different input voltages
  • Different output voltage range
  • Motorized drive
  • Higher IP rating enclosures

Motor Drive

The motor drive option may be

i) A 230/240V single phase AC synchronous motor (Standard)
ii) A 24V DC motor (By Request)
iii) A 24V DC Stepper motor (By Request)

The motor is coupled to the main rotation shaft by a gear box. The drive system for types (i) and (ii) motors are operated by relays(not supplied) that are closed by the customers control circuitry across the increase or decrease contacts. Type (iii) motors are driven directly by the customers control circuitry.

The drive system is fitted with maximum and minimum end stop micro-switches to stop the motor at the limits of the brush arm travel
