The buck-boost transformer is a simple and economical means for raising a voltage that is too low or decreasing a voltage that is too high. This transformer can raise or lower voltage being supplied to the load more than ±5 percent, to improve the efficiency of the device or system.
Buck-boost transformers are small single-phase transformers designed to reduce (buck) or raise (boost) line voltage from 5 to 20 percent. A common application is boosting 208 V to 230 or 240 V AC.
For example, there might be a requirement to power the motor in an air conditioner with a 230- or 240-V AC motor from the 208-V AC supply line. This can be done with a buckboost transformer.
Buck-boost transformers are standard distribution transformers with ratings ranging from 50 VA to 10 kVA. Commercial units are made with primary voltages of 120, 240, or 480 V AC.
They can also power low-voltage circuits for control or lighting applications requiring 12, 16, 24, 32, or 48 V AC. Schematics of buck-boost transformers that can transform 120 and 240 V AC to 12 and 24 V AC are shown in the figure below.
When the primary and secondary lead wires of buck-boost transformers are connected together electrically in a recommended bucking or boosting connection, they become autotransformers. Some typical connection diagrams for these transformers in autotransformer arrangements for single-phase systems are shown below.
Buck-boost transformers have four windings for versatility. Their two primary and two secondary windings can be connected eight different ways to provide many different voltage and kVA outputs.
Because their output voltage is a function of input voltage, they cannot be used as voltage stabilizers. Output voltage will vary by the same percentage as the input voltage.
These transformers can also function in three-phase systems. Two or three units can be used to buck or boost three-phase voltage. The number of units needed in a three-phase installation depends on the number of wires in the supply line.
Seriously, wow.Thanks for sharing such a great blog with us.
