| Common Specifications | ||
| Construction | ||
| Core | Flat laminations (E&I) of high grade grain oriented silicon steel for a long, stable life. | |
| Encapsulant | TPR rubber (also known as TPV, TPE) | |
| | Much higher dielectric strength and lower water absorption than older materials such as epoxy, neoprene, or polychloroprene. | |
| | Minimal swelling in the presence of hydrocarbons, unlike neoprene, polychloroprene, etc. | |
| Encapsulation process | Injection molding for maximum consistency of encapsulation, yielding exceptionally low leakage currents. Vacuum drawing prior to injection prevents air pockets inside. A far superior process to compression or transfer molding, or pouring. | |
| Winding | Magnet wire on a plastic bobbin, specifically designed to electrically isolate the primary and secondary windings for maximum safety. | |
| Connector pins and sockets | Tin plated for corrosion resistance | |
| Primary cables | Cable is AWG #8 (8,3 mm2) Type C TPR for maximum reliability | |
| Secondary cable | Cable is AWG 2/12 (3,3 mm2) | |
| Material compatibility | Transformer body, cables, and connectors are all molded of TPR for perfect bonding. | |
| Watertightness | Amerace® transformers are designed and manufactured to operate submerged in water indefinitely. | |
| Electrical | ||
| Insulation Level | 5000 V RMS | |
| Efficiencies | 85% to 95% depending on the power rating | |
| Power Factor | > 0,97 for resistive loads | |
| Frequency | 50/60 Hz | |
| Certification | Responsibility of buyer to obtain approval for use from local electrical authority | |
| Testing | All units (100%) are hipotted and the output voltage confirmed | |
| Environmental | ||
| Operating Temperature Range | -55°C to +65°C | |
| Contaminant resistance | Suitable for areas contaminated with most oils, aircraft fuels, soil acids and alkalis, and deicing fluids. Resistant to UV exposure and ozone. | |
| Installation Options | All types, including above ground, in concrete or other non-metallic pits, in metal cans, or direct buried. | |
