ReliaGear XFMR Drive Isolation

Drive Isolation - ABB-LV Transformers

Drive Isolation Transformer (DIT) is designed to specifically handle the mechanical stresses, voltage distortions, and harmonics associated with silicon-controlled rectifiers (SCR) applications. Drive Isolation Transformers have symmetrically placed taps and added coil bracing to withstand the mechanical forces caused by severe SCR duty cycles. These features also help to protect the transformer from the regenerative duty and more frequent short-circuits associated with SCRs.

Drive Isolation transformers also help to filter the electrical noise caused by SCRs. The delta-wye designs meet the NEC requirements for grounded secondary neutrals that isolate primary distribution systems. Drive Isolation Transformers are UL 1561 listed for non-sinusoidal current loads.
