Высококачественный однофазный регулируемый вариаторный трансформатор 0.5kVA-50KVA

Working Principle

Сайт variac transformer operates as an adjustable autotransformer.
A carbon brush is mounted on a circular coil wound evenly on a toroidal iron core. When the handwheel rotates, the brush slides along the polished coil surface, changing the contact point. This adjustment modifies the turns ratio between the primary and secondary windings, allowing the output voltage to vary continuously and smoothly within the rated range.

This design ensures:

• Seamless voltage adjustment (no step changes or distortion)

• High electrical efficiency with minimal power loss

• Durable mechanical operation and stable long-term performance

Product Structure

1. Single Unit Structure (0.5–10kVA)

Each unit includes a polished copper coil fixed on a base and a spring-loaded carbon brush ensuring firm contact. Turning the handwheel adjusts the output voltage smoothly. These compact tabletop models feature a protective ventilated mesh housing for safety and cooling.

2. Assembled Single Phase Structure (≥10kVA)

Large-capacity single-phase models combine several identical units connected in parallel, with all brushes mounted on a shared main shaft. A balancing reactor is integrated to stabilize current distribution and suppress circulating currents between units.

3. Carbon Brush Assembly

• For ≤3kVA units: uses 1–2 copper-graphite composite brushes with excellent conductivity and wear resistance.
• For ≥4kVA units: uses dual composite brushes with enhanced heat dissipation and precision contact pressure adjustment.

Environmental Requirements

To ensure optimal performance and long service life, the single phase variac transformer should operate under proper environmental conditions:

1. Temperature: -10°C to +40°C

   • Avoid excessive heat, which accelerates component aging and affects voltage accuracy.

   • Avoid extreme cold that increases internal resistance and reduces efficiency.

2. Humidity: 5%–90% RH (non-condensing)

   • Prevent condensation or water intrusion to avoid short circuits and corrosion.

3. Electromagnetic Environment:

   • Should be installed away from strong electromagnetic sources such as motors or inverters.

   • Use shielding or filters if interference is unavoidable.

4. Installation Space:

   • Ensure at least 10–15 cm of clearance around the transformer for proper ventilation and cooling.
