Engineered for reliability and performance
Our transformers provide complete galvanic isolation between primary and secondary circuits, eliminating ground loops and reducing electrical noise.
Shield sensitive medical, laboratory, and industrial equipment from power surges, spikes, and other electrical disturbances.
Significantly reduce common-mode noise and electromagnetic interference for cleaner power delivery to critical equipment.
Our isolation transformers are designed to meet the most demanding applications with robust construction and precise engineering.
Understanding the technology behind electrical isolation
The input power connects to the primary winding, creating a magnetic field in the transformer core.
This magnetic field induces a voltage in the secondary winding without any direct electrical connection.
The isolated output power is drawn from the secondary winding, free from many common power quality issues.
Additional electrostatic shielding between windings further reduces noise and transient coupling.
| Feature | Isolation Transformer | Auto Transformer |
|---|---|---|
| Electrical Isolation | Complete isolation between input and output | No isolation - input and output share common connection |
| Safety | Protects against electric shock by breaking ground loops | No protection against shock hazards |
| Noise Reduction | Excellent noise isolation and reduction | Minimal noise reduction |
| Voltage Transformation | Can step up or step down voltage | Can step up or step down voltage |
| Applications | Sensitive equipment, medical, industrial, audio | General purpose voltage conversion |
While all transformers provide some level of isolation, isolation transformers are specifically designed to maximize the electrical separation between primary and secondary circuits. They feature special shielding and insulation to minimize capacitive coupling and often have a 1:1 turns ratio (same input and output voltage) purely for isolation purposes.
To select the proper size isolation transformer:
While isolation transformers provide excellent protection against many power quality issues, they are not specifically designed to protect against the extremely high voltages of direct lightning strikes. For complete lightning protection, we recommend using our isolation transformers in combination with proper surge protection devices (SPDs) and lightning arrestors.
Our isolation transformers are designed for minimal maintenance:
Most units can operate for years without any maintenance beyond these basic checks.
