Isolation Transformers

Isolation transformers are transformers whose primary and secondary windings are electrically separated from each other, galvanically isolating the connected load from the mains. Types with a very low output voltage, such as 24 V, are used to power handheld lamps and portable lighting in places with a high risk of electric shock, such as inside boilers and tanks, wells, construction sites and workshops. This category includes Bemis isolation transformers with a 24 V output; models of 100 W and 200 W are offered with a 16 A, 2-pole 24 V plug and socket and an IP20 housing, as a transformer only or as a lighting type with a transformer. Choose the transformer by the total power (W) of the lamps or devices to be supplied, input and output voltage, plug and socket type, and the IP rating the environment of use requires. Because the IP20 housing provides no protection against water, the transformer must be used in a dry indoor environment. The products here are low-power transformers with a 24 V output; they do not replace a separation transformer with equal input and output voltage or the medical isolation transformer used in hospitals.

How to choose Isolation Transformers

Isolation transformers are transformers whose primary and secondary windings are electrically separated from each other, galvanically isolating the connected load from the mains. Types with a very low output voltage, such as 24 V, are used to power handheld lamps and portable lighting in places with a high risk of electric shock, such as inside boilers and tanks, wells, construction sites and workshops.

  • Determine whether backup power bridging (UPS) or voltage regulation is required.
  • Calculate kVA rating, phase configuration and backup runtime from the critical load list.
  • Verify battery bank, bypass topology and monitoring interface requirements.
