Collection: Transformers

A control panel transformer is an electrical device designed to convert high-voltage power from the main supply to a lower, safer voltage level suitable for control circuits within an industrial control panel. Typically used in manufacturing facilities, processing plants, and other industrial environments, these transformers step down the voltage—commonly from 480V or 240V to 120V or 24V—to safely power components such as relays, contactors, timers, and pilot lights.

Control panel transformers are engineered to provide reliable power in environments that may experience surges, fluctuations, or noisy power conditions. They often feature enhanced insulation, thermal protection, and sometimes electrostatic shielding to reduce interference and ensure stable operation for sensitive control equipment. Additionally, many control panel transformers come with fuse protection to guard against overcurrent situations, ensuring both the equipment and personnel remain safe.

These transformers are essential in applications where direct access to high-voltage power sources would be hazardous for workers or could damage low-voltage control equipment. They contribute to the safe, efficient operation of complex industrial machinery and automation systems.
