Overview

The Hammond Power SP500QR is a 500 kVA general-purpose open-style core and coil control transformer designed for industrial control circuit applications. This transformer features a primary voltage rating of 240x480V and a secondary voltage rating of 12x24V, making it suitable for basic control power needs where high inrush currents or machine tool duty are not primary requirements. Constructed with high-quality silicon steel laminations and a copper/steel core and coil, the SP500QR operates at 60 Hz and adheres to UL and CSA certification standards. Its open-style construction allows for effective heat dissipation, contributing to operational longevity. The transformer includes standard secondary fuse kits with 13/32” x 1 1/2” midget/type CC fuse clips and SEMS washers for secure terminations suitable for 18 AWG to 14 AWG solid or 14 AWG stranded wire. Mounting is facilitated by heavy-duty steel feet welded or bolted to the core, providing superior strength in a compact design. Optional features include finger-safe terminal covers, primary fuse kits, and wall mounting brackets. The SP500QR is manufactured in the USA and distributed by Gross Automation, offering a dependable and economical solution for industrial control power applications.

How to Install the Industrial Control Transformer

This guide provides step-by-step instructions for installing and wiring the Industrial Control Transformer, ensuring proper setup and safety.

Estimated time: 45m

Tools needed:

Screwdriver, Wire strippers, Multimeter

Supplies needed:

Mounting screws, Terminal connectors

  1. Mount the transformer

    Secure the transformer to the mounting surface using appropriately sized screws. Ensure the transformer is level and firmly attached.

  2. Connect the voltage links and jumpers

    Install the voltage link kit and jumper kits as per the wiring instructions provided with the transformer. Ensure all connections are tight and secure.

  3. Wire the transformer

    Use 18 AWG to 14 AWG solid wire or 18 AWG to 12 AWG stranded wire for all bare wire connections. Use ring or spade connectors for wires outside this range.

  4. Torque terminal screws

    Tighten all terminal screws to a torque of 12 to 14 inch-lbs to ensure secure connections.

  5. Install optional accessories

    If using the optional Fuse Block Adapter Kit, remove the appropriate captive washer screws from the terminal block and use them to install the fuse block onto the adapter plate.

  6. Verify connections

    Double-check all wiring and connections against the detailed wiring instructions provided. Use a multimeter to verify continuity and correct voltage levels.
