Not all electrical applications require high voltage. In fact, there are many situations where a low voltage transformer is more useful and even necessary. Small offices, portable stores and retail locations may only require a low voltage supply for essential electronic devices. By dealing with low voltage, you can minimise costs, simplify installation and keep your premises safer.
Furthermore, low voltage transformers can be used to boost productivity in your business so as to improve your bottom line. Here's how.
Durable and compatible
Many low voltage transformers are more durable because they handle smaller loads at any given time. They also come in durable enclosures that protect sensitive inner components (and the entire machine) from damage.
Most low voltage units will come pre-installed with NEMA enclosures. These enclosures are known for their excellent resilience to external conditions, ability to handle high voltage and compatibility with pre-enclosed circuit breakers. In this way, the transformer can be used to step down and distribute power to a wide variety of equipment without exposing such equipment to high primary voltage.
Cost effective
Many low voltage transformers are also more affordable. Because they don't need to distribute high capacity, they come in smaller sizes or as integrated packages. This means that the transformer unit may also double up as a multi-phase power solution to handle most of your electrical needs. The result is cost savings and better compatibility with your business operations. You can use low voltage transformers in mobile shops, areas that have limited space or even remote areas where power supply is limited.
Easy installation
Low voltage transformers are also easier to install. You can wall mount, ground mount or pole mount most models without spending too much on the installation cost. Such transformers also come with multiple AIC ratings. This means that they can integrate with current infrastructure by just flipping a switch inside the unit.
Plug-and-play installation is a huge convenience when working with transformers. Not only will you spend less time during installation, but you can also assemble or disassemble the unit on-site.
Safety
Low voltage transformers also come equipped with a wide variety of safety features. Because you're dealing with low capacity current, the risk is already minimised from installation. Such transformers also feature advanced circuit breaking technology and secondary load centres to distribute current more effectively. These features enhance both safety and productivity when being used in your business.

Howdy! My name is Eric and I am here to tell you all about the joys of completing a restoration project. Until recently, I had no idea of the pleasure which could be had when working on a project to repair an item. I used to throw things away when they were worn out. However, my friend realised what I was doing and invited me to the local restoration club. At the club, we are taught how to repair furniture, jewellery and other items. I really love attending the club and I have learnt a great deal about this fascinating subject.
