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
Insulation Resistance Minimum 7500 Megohms (tested hot with 15 kV DC)
Typical 150,000 Megohms
Much higher than that required by FAA
Open Circuit Voltages Less than 3 times the full load RMS value in all cases, generally much lower, when tested with sine waves.
Efficiencies 85% to 95% depending on the power rating
Power Factor > 0,97 for all
Ratio Flat response load curves for constant lamp brilliancy and long life
Testing All units (100%) are hipotted and their ratio confirmed
All ratio testing done with the appropriate frequency, 50 Hz or 60 Hz, for precision. No "conversion factors" used.
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.
