Overview

The Hammond Power HPS C2G0500QR is an open-style control transformer engineered for industrial control circuits requiring reliable low-voltage power. Rated at 500VA with a single-phase, 50/60Hz input, it supports primary voltages of 240V or 480V through parallel or series connection, delivering a stable 24V secondary output for consistent operation of control devices. Constructed with high-quality copper windings, the transformer meets an insulation class of 130°C and operates with an 80°C temperature rise, ensuring dependable performance under continuous load conditions. Designed for easy installation, it features terminal block terminations on both primary and secondary sides, providing secure and straightforward wiring. The open-style core-and-coil construction enhances heat dissipation and simplifies maintenance access, reducing downtime in industrial environments. Its versatile design makes it ideal for powering control relays, solenoids, sensors, and instrumentation in manufacturing, automation, and machinery applications where a dedicated low-voltage power source is essential.
  • High inrush and continuous operation design handles relays, solenoids, contactors, and timers.
  • Copper-wound coils, durable insulation, and silicon steel laminations deliver stable, consistent voltage and long life.
  • Welded core and base construction ensure mechanical strength and easy installation.
  • Vacuum-impregnated coils improve thermal performance and protection.
  • Open-style core-and-coil construction for heat dissipation and maintenance access
