Overview

The Hammond Power 2909B12 Motor Starting Autotransformer is a 2-coil, 240V unit designed for 1200 HP industrial motors. Part of the 2A-series, it provides reduced-voltage starting to limit inrush current and protect motor windings during startup. The autotransformer reduces mechanical stress on driven equipment, extending motor and load lifespan. Rated for heavy-duty industrial environments, it supports reliable operation in applications such as pumps, compressors, and fans. Built to meet industrial standards, the 2909B12 ensures consistent performance with minimal maintenance. Its compact design and durable construction make it suitable for installation in motor control centers or dedicated enclosures. The 2-coil configuration provides efficient voltage reduction while maintaining high efficiency during normal operation. The UNSPSC code 39121035 classifies this as a motor starting autotransformer, ensuring compatibility with industrial motor control systems. Manufactured in the US, it meets the demands of continuous operation in harsh conditions.
