Overview

The Hammond Power Q1C0ESCF4 encapsulated buck-boost transformer delivers precise voltage adjustment for single-phase applications requiring 240V input and 16/32V output. Rated at 1kVA, this transformer uses copper windings for efficient power transfer and long-term reliability. The Type 4 enclosure provides protection against dust, water, and corrosion, making it suitable for indoor and outdoor industrial environments where environmental resistance is critical. Designed for single-phase systems, this transformer is optimized for 208/240VAC applications with de-rating for compatibility across a range of horsepower ratings. The encapsulated design ensures quiet operation at 65dB, minimizing noise pollution in work areas. Applications include motor control circuits, lighting systems, and industrial machinery requiring stable low-voltage power. The transformer’s compact design and copper construction provide durability while maintaining efficient thermal management. Terminal blocks and copper terminal pads ensure secure connections, reducing installation time and maintenance requirements.
  • Compact and Cost-Effective - Gives you the exact single-phase voltage adjustment you need at a fraction of the cost and physical size of a standard isolation transformer.
  • Rugged NEMA 3R Protection- Core and coils are completely encapsulated in sand and resin to seal out moisture and dust, ensuring outdoor reliability backed by a 10-year warranty.
  • Versatile Voltage Correction - Easily bridges common voltage gaps on single-phase lines to fix line drops and protect expensive equipment from failing.
  • Type 4 enclosure for dust, water, and corrosion resistance
  • 65dB noise level for quiet operation in industrial environments
