Overview

The Hammond Power 3009B6 is a 3-coil autotransformer from the 3A-series, specifically engineered for industrial motor starting applications. Operating at a primary voltage of 240V, this unit is robustly designed to manage motors up to 600 HP. Its primary function is to provide reduced voltage starting, a critical feature for limiting the high inrush current typically experienced during motor startup. By mitigating this inrush current, the 3009B6 effectively decreases mechanical stress on the motor itself and any connected equipment, thereby extending their operational lifespan. Furthermore, it contributes to reducing electrical system disturbances, ensuring a more stable power supply. Constructed for reliability in demanding industrial settings, this autotransformer is ideal for environments that require controlled and efficient startup procedures for large machinery. The SKU for this model is 3009B6, and it is proudly manufactured by Hammond Power in the USA. Its UNSPSC code is 39121035.
