Products & Services
Transformers
Transformers are electrical devices that are designed to transfer energy from one circuit to another by electromagnetic induction. They are used typically to increase or decrease voltage as it passes from one side of the device through the other.
Isolation Transformers
Isolation transformers provide electrical decoupling or isolation to two connected circuits. They have a turn ratio of 1:1.
Autotransformers
Autotransformers are a special type of power transformer with only one winding.
Power Transformers
Power transformers convert power-level voltages from one level or phase configuration to another.  They can include features for electrical isolation, power distribution, and control and instrumentation applications.
