TransformersView all

  • Control Transformers

    Control the voltage and current levels in electrical circuits. Provide reliable and efficient power conversion. Built to last & perform well under a wide range of operating conditions.

  • Current Transformers

    Include current transformers, PC mount transformers & commercial transformers. Current transformers measure electric current in electrical power systems. PC mount transformers mount directly onto a printed circuit board (PCB) to provide isolation & voltage conversion in an electrical system.

  • Isolation Transformers

    Provide electrical isolation between the primary & secondary windings to prevent the transfer of electrical noise or interference between medical equipment & the electrical supply. Protect patients & healthcare workers from electrical hazards.

  • Lighting Transformers

    Convert high-voltage power from the electrical grid into low-voltage power that is safe & suitable for use in lighting systems. Provide electrical isolation between the lighting system & the electrical supply to protect against electrical hazards.

  • Single Phase Transformers

    General-purpose transformers with encapsulation design for harsh environments and wound core construction for lesser power loss & quieter operation. Feature electrostatic shielding to reduce voltage distortions for cleaner power and max. temp. rise of 115 degrees. Available in up to 25 kVA rating

  • Three Phase Transformers

    Designed to offer consistent and smooth voltage transformation with power ratings up to 225 kVA. Selected models meet DOE 2016 legislation, provide low operating costs, increase profitability and minimise greenhouse gas emissions. UL rated and CSA certified units

  • Transformer Accessories

    Include covers, inductors, replacement panels, wall mounting kits, thermal switch kits, weathershield kits and more. Used with transformers to enhance their performance and improve overall functionality.

Terminal BlocksView all

  • Power Distribution Blocks

    Power distribution blocks for the distribution and management of electrical power from a single source to multiple loads. Provide protection against overloading, improve the reliability & safety of power systems and reduce the amount of cabling and wiring required.

  • Terminal Block Accessories

    Include terminal covers to cover electrical terminals in electrical equipment. Prevent accidental contact with live electrical connections and protect from dust, moisture & other environmental contaminants.

DistributionView all

  • Circuit Breaker Accessories

    Include lug kits to make connections between conductors & electrical equipment. Generally consist of lugs, bolts & other components to create a secure & reliable electrical connection.

Power SuppliesView all

  • DC Power Supplies

    Convert AC power from the electrical grid into DC power suitable for control systems. Mounted directly onto a DIN rail for easy installation and integration into industrial control panels & cabinets.

Voltage RegulationView all

  • Power Conditioners

    Power conditioners clean up & regulate the voltage & current of electrical power. Protection against voltage spikes, suppress electromagnetic interference (EMI) and improve the power factor of a system.

FusesView all

  • Fuse Kits

    Protect electrical circuits & equipment from damage caused due to overcurrent conditions. Used with control transformers. Generally include a variety of fuses with different ratings.

About Acme Electric

The Acme Electric product line includes AC line reactors, transformers, DC power supplies and battery chargers. The extensive Acme transformer catalogue comprises buck-boost, drive-isolation, harmonic mitigation, industrial control, low-voltage lighting, & distribution and non-linear load transformers. The brands buck-boost transformers are ideal for single phase applications and feature NEMA 3R enclosure rating to protect from dirt or rain. These transformers come equipped with low-maintenance copper terminals and are available in power ratings ranging from 50 to 5000 VA. Acme Electric energy efficient transformers minimise the power drawn from generating stations for less smog & greenhouse gas emissions. These three-phase transformers are offered in 30k, 45k, 75k, 150k and 225k VAC voltage configurations. Choose from a wide range of these products and related accessories, such as replacement motors and jumper links, on Raptor Supplies.

Things to Consider

Cross-Reference Alternatives

Acme Electric's MPNs cross individual references to the equivalent Functional Devices Inc / RIB and Square D model numbers. So, if you are looking for competitor items that are either out of stock or obsolete, chances are Raptor Supplies has the equivalent Acme Electric transformers available.

Shipping

Acme Electric transformers are available in control, current, isolation, lighting, single-phase and three-phase types. These transformers and related accessories are large and small in size & therefore require careful packaging as some products might get damaged while shipping. Hence, they are delivered by courier shipment and air freight for minimum downtime.

Acme Electric Competitive Advantages

Wound Cores and Strip Windings

For the least amount of eddy current losses feasible, strip windings are used to wind all Acme DITs over 7.5 kVA. This innovative design operates quietly and with very little loss of operational expenses in comparison to the alternative structures.

Copper Terminations

All Acme DITs have copper terminations. The bonding method that converts aluminium strip coil conductors into copper terminations is known as "Koldwelding".

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between an autotransformer and an isolation transformer?

An autotransformer is a transformer with an electrical connection between the primary input and secondary output. Whereas the primary input and secondary output of an isolation transformer, also known as an insulating transformer, are completely electrically separated from one another.

What is the life expectancy of a buck-boost transformer?

The life expectancy of a buck-boost transformer is 30 or more years.

Are buck-boost transformers as quiet as standard isolation transformers?

Yes. As compared to an isolation transformer that can handle the same load, an auto-connected buck-boost transformer will be quieter. Smaller transformers are quieter than larger ones, therefore the isolation transformer would need to be physically bigger than the buck-boost transformer.
