Overview

ABB’s 9T51B0893 Buck-boost transformer (SKU: 9T51B0893) is a compact, single-phase, dry-type distribution transformer designed for precise voltage adjustment in industrial and commercial applications. This unit operates at 50/60 Hz with a 0.5 kVA rating, accepting an input voltage of 480 Volts and providing an output voltage of 120/240 Volts. It features a -2 tap setting for a 5.0% voltage buck, enabling accurate voltage regulation to protect sensitive equipment and optimize system performance. Engineered as both an insulating and isolating transformer, the 9T51B0893 offers dual voltage primary and secondary configurations for flexible voltage combinations. Commonly used to buck (lower) or boost (raise) supply voltage by 5 to 27%, this transformer is ideal for applications requiring stable voltage for lighting, motors, or electronic equipment. Its dry-type construction eliminates liquid insulation, reducing maintenance and environmental risks while enhancing reliability. Weighing 20 lbs with a frame size of 10225, the transformer complies with NEC Article 210-9, Exception 1, when field-connected as an autotransformer. The included wiring diagram (No. 2) simplifies installation, and its compact footprint allows for easy retrofitting in space-constrained areas. Manufactured in the US, the 9T51B0893 delivers dependable performance for critical voltage adjustment needs.
