Once the circuit variables have been determined, transformer selection is a 5000 55000 92500 115000
simple 5-step process as follows:
To comply with NEMA standards, which require all magnetic devices to operate
1. Determine the application inrush VA by using the following industry accepted
formula: successfully at 85% of rated voltage, the 90% secondary voltage column is most
often used in selecting a transformer.
Application inrush VA = (INRUSH VA)2 + (SEALED VA)2

2. Refer to the Regulation Data chart. If the primary voltage is basically stable NOTE
and does not vary by more than 5% from nominal, the 90% secondary voltage For UL overcurrent protection, see page 12.11
column should be used. If the primary voltage varies between 5 and 10% of
nominal, the 95% secondary voltage column should be used.

3. After determining the proper secondary voltage column, read down until a
12
value equal to or greater than the application inrush VA is found. In no case
should a figure less than the Application Inrush VA be used.

4. Read left to the Transformer VA rating column to determine the proper

transformer for this application. As a final check, make sure that the Transformer
VA rating is equal to or greater than the total sealed requirements. If not, select a
transformer with a VA rating equal to or greater than the total sealed VA.

5. Refer to transformer selection pages to determine the proper catalog number

based on the transformer VA, and primary and secondary voltage requirements.

Inrush
Industrial control circuits and motor control loads typically require more current
when they are initially energized than under normal operating conditions. This
period of high current demand, referred to as inrush, may be as great as ten
times the current required under steady state (normal) operation conditions and
can last up to 40 milliseconds.

A transformer in a circuit subject to inrush will typically attempt to provide the

load with the required current during the inrush period. However, it will be at the
expense of the secondary voltage stability by allowing the voltage to the load to
decrease as the current increases. This period of secondary voltage instability,
resulting from increased current, can be of such a magnitude that the transformer
is unable to supply sufficient voltage to energize the load.

This transformer must therefore be designed and constructed to accommodate

the high inrush current, while maintaining secondary voltage stability. According
to NEMA standards, the secondary voltage should typically be at 85% of the
rated voltage.

Industrial Control Circuit Transformers by ABB Control Inc. are specifically

designed and built to provide adequate voltage to the load while accommodating
the high current levels present at inrush. These transformers deliver excellent
secondary voltage regulation and meet or exceed the standards established by
NEMA, ANSI, UL and CSA. Their hearty construction and excellent electrical
characteristics assure reliable operation of electromagnetic devices and trouble-
free performance.

While no requirement exists in IEC-742 for the electrical connections to be either

finger safe or touch proof, the specification does state that IF a transformer is
supplied with a cover to prevent incidental contact with current carrying parts, that
cover must utilize two separate methods or places of securing it to the component,
with neither being dependent upon the other. Additionally, one of these methods
MUST require a tool to remove it.

IEC-529
The requirements for finger-safe or touch-proof electrical connections are identified
by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) under specification 529,
Classification of Degrees of Protection Provided by Enclosures. These various
degrees of protection are identified and differentiated by IP ratings.

A variety of IP ratings are defined in IEC-529 ranging from IP00, which provides
no protection from contact, to IP68, which identifies dust-proof and water-proof
protection. Optionally, IP ratings may contain additional and supplementary
designators. The IP specification which most closely approximates protection to a
human finger is IP20. This IP rating would be the most common degree of touch-
proof connection for electrical components such as transformers.

IEC-529 protection requirements would most commonly apply to products which

fall under the requirements of the Machinery Directive 89/392/EEC, as opposed
to the Low Voltage Directive 73/23/EEC, which covers components such as
control transformers. Over time, however, users subject to the requirements of
the Machinery Directive and/or IEC-529 have expanded their interpretation of
finger-safe or touch-proof electrical connections to include the components of the
equipment, such as transformers.

What is a transformer? What is temperature rise?

What is regulation? What is duty cycle?

Regulation is the change in output voltage when the load is reduced from rated Duty cycle is the period and duration when a transformer will be loaded. The
12 value (full load) to zero (no load) with input voltage remaining constant. transformer is designed to run continuously at full load without exceeding the
temperature limits. Transformers may also be operated for short time duty.
Can transformers be used at ambients other than 40°C? Depending upon the time and cycle of the maximum load, the transformer VA size
may be smaller than for continuous duty.
Transformers may be used at ambients less than 40°C at full nameplate
capacity. For ambients above 40°C, they must be derated as follows: What is the value of encapsulation in control transformers?

What is the effect of altitude on a transformer? disturbances found on the line?
A transformer may be used at full nameplate capacity up to 3300 feet (1000 Because a control transformer has isolated primary and secondary windings, it will

found in products designed for that purpose.
What is the effect of load on a control transformer?
A control transformer is designed to provide rated output voltage at full VA. As the
load decreases, the output voltage will go up. Conversely, increases in load will
result in lower output voltages. Typically, the smaller the VA size of the unit, the
greater difference there is between no-load and full-load voltage.

What is temperature class?

Temperature class is the rating of the transformer insulation system. It is
determined by adding the ambient temperature, temperature rise and hottest
spot temperature. The standard insulation system classification per UL506, are
as follows:

Ambient Average winding Hot spot Temperature

temperature temperature rise* temperature class

40°c 55°C 10°C 105°C

40°c 80°C 10°C 130°C
40°c 100°C 15°C 155°C
40°c 120°C 20°C 180°C

UL Overcurrent protection rm
er
s
Primary & secondary
Overcurrent protection on both the primary and secondary sides of transformers are specified in UL508 and the National Electrical Code. The maximum acceptable
ratings are shown below. Due to the high inrush currents present when a transformer is initially energized, it is recommended that the primary fuse be time delay, to
prevent nuisance trips during startup.

If the rated secondary current is less than 9 amps, the maximum rating of the overcurrent device is 167%; 9 amps or more, the maximum rating of the overcurrent device
is 125%. If 125% does not correspond to a standard fuse rating, the next highest standard rating may be used.
