Overview

The Hammond Power Y500PKC is a 500 kVA, three-phase autotransformer designed for applications requiring voltage correction in distribution systems. It serves as an economical alternative to isolation transformers when load isolation is not a requirement, offering flexibility as either a step-up or step-down transformer. This unit operates with a 60 Hz frequency and features a 130°C insulation system with an 80°C rise. The autotransformer is UL Listed (File E112313) and CSA Certified (File LR3902), ensuring compliance with industry standards. It is built with a heavy-duty type 3R enclosure, providing robust protection. Terminations are front accessible with high and low voltage terminals suitable for copper cables. The Y500PKC is ideal for adjusting supply voltage to match specific load requirements in industrial settings. Its single winding design in a Wye configuration is a key characteristic of autotransformers. Manufactured in the USA, this autotransformer is engineered for reliable voltage adjustment in three-phase power distribution.
