Overview

Hammond Power’s DM660KD is a 660 kVA, 600V class three-phase drive isolation transformer designed for rugged industrial applications. Rated for 480V delta primary to 240V wye secondary, this aluminum-wound transformer meets the demands of AC and DC variable speed drives with reliable voltage transformation and isolation. Built with heavy-duty ventilated Type 3R enclosures, the DM660KD features front-accessible high and low voltage terminals with pre-installed lugs suitable for aluminum and copper cable. Standard features include floor mounting feet, vibration isolation pads, and factory-installed grounding lugs for simplified installation. The transformer’s impedance is typically 3% to 6.5%, ensuring stable performance in variable load conditions. With a 220°C insulation system and 150°C rise rating, it delivers long-term reliability in harsh environments. Certified to UL and CSA standards, the DM660KD is ideal for industrial control systems, motor drives, and power conversion applications requiring robust isolation and voltage regulation.
  • The separate primary and secondary windings provide electrical isolation between the incoming line and the SCR load.
  • The windings are designed to withstand overcurrent of 150% of the rated load for 60 seconds or 200% of the rated load for 30 seconds.
  • Drive Isolation Transformers are sized to match standard motor horsepower and voltage ratings. Standard sizes range from 5 to 600 HP in six standard voltages.
  • Front-accessible terminals with pre-installed lugs for aluminum/copper cable
  • UL and CSA certified, impedance 3% to 6.5%

How to Install the DM660KD Transformer

This guide provides step-by-step instructions for the safe installation and initial setup of the DM660KD transformer, ensuring proper connections and configurations.

Estimated time: 1h

Tools needed:

Screwdriver, Wire strippers, Multimeter

Supplies needed:

Mounting screws, Terminal connectors, Grounding wire

  1. Inspect the transformer

    Immediately after receiving the transformer, inspect it for any transit damage and verify it against the shipping documents. Report any damage to the carrier.

  2. Mount the transformer

    Securely mount the transformer in an upright position using appropriate mounting hardware. Ensure it is placed in a clean, dry area with adequate ventilation.

  3. Connect the grounding wire

    Connect the grounding wire to the main ground location on the transformer. Ensure that the connection is tight and complies with local electrical codes.

  4. Make cable connections

    Connect the input and output cables to the transformer terminals as per the nameplate diagram. Ensure all connections are clean and use electrical joint compounds where necessary.

  5. Verify connections

    Before energizing the transformer, use a multimeter to verify that all connections are secure and that there are no short circuits.

  6. Energize the transformer

    Turn on the power supply to the transformer. Monitor for any unusual sounds or overheating during the initial energization.

  7. Perform initial calibration

    Check the output voltage with a multimeter to ensure it matches the specifications on the nameplate. Adjust tap settings if necessary.

  8. Conduct final inspection

    After initial operation, conduct a final inspection to ensure all components are functioning correctly and that there are no signs of overheating or damage.
