Overview

ABB's Buck-Boost Transformer, SKU 9T51B0139, is a compact, single-phase, dry-type distribution transformer engineered for precise voltage regulation in industrial and commercial systems. Designed as both an insulating and isolating transformer, it features dual-voltage primary (240/480V) and secondary (120/240V) windings, enabling flexible field connections for a wide range of voltage combinations. This transformer excels in boosting (raising) or bucking (lowering) supply voltages by 5% to 27% to optimize equipment performance and prevent damage from under/over-voltage conditions. It is field-connectable as an autotransformer, complying with NEC Article 210-9, Exception 1, for safe, code-compliant installations. The dry-type construction eliminates oil-related hazards and maintenance, ensuring a safer, cleaner environment for indoor and outdoor installations. Its single-phase design makes it lightweight and space-efficient, ideal for retrofits, machine tool applications, or remote power distribution where three-phase power is unavailable. The versatile voltage range supports dual primary/secondary voltages, accommodating diverse input/output requirements without custom engineering. Built for industrial-grade performance with a 105°C insulation system and 55°C temperature rise, it reduces downtime in critical operations. Common applications include machine tools and automation for correcting voltage drops in long cable runs or high-startup loads, lighting systems for stabilizing voltage for LED/HID fixtures, HVAC systems to ensure compressors and motors operate within optimal voltage ranges, renewable energy integration to match grid or off-grid voltage requirements, and remote locations such as mining, oil & gas, or telecom sites where stable power is essential. This unit is UL and CSA certified.
