Safety transformers

HOW TO USE A SAFETY TRANSFORMER

A safety transformer converts 230V voltage into 24V (low-voltage) safety voltage, and is very easy to use: simply connect it to the mains and use the sockets provided on the transformer to power your low-voltage appliances. Transformers are available with 1, 4 or 6 sockets, depending on your needs. For example, our 2500 VA 230/24V safety transformer offers 6 x 24V sockets.

While using a transformer is relatively simple, choosing the right safety transformer is more complex. To do this, you need to determine your electrical power requirements: add up all the electrical powers of the devices on your site and add 140%. This figure represents a safety margin to prevent overheating. To find out how much power a safety transformerrefer to its VA (volt-ampere) rating. For example, the 2500 VA transformer offers this power rating.

Another criterion to consider is the mechanical resistance (IK) and protection index (IP) of your safety transformer. Mechanical resistance refers to the robustness of the device, while the protection rating indicates its resistance to water and dust. To take the example of the 2500 VA 230/24V transformertransformer, it has an IP54 rating, indicating that it is resistant to dust and microscopic residues, as well as to water jets from all directions.

YOUR INDUSTRIAL SITES COVERED BY OUR PROCESSORS

Labérine Energy offers isolation transformers specially designed for industrial sites. For the entire range up to 3,500VA, they are housed in a butyl rubber enclosure; above 3,500VA and up to 315KVA, they are protected by a sheet metal enclosure. These properties enable you to supply your worksites in complete safety and with high power ratings. With our transformerstransformers, you can safely supply 24 V (extra-low voltage) for your site lighting.

For outdoor sites, weather is not a problem, since our safety transformers resist rain, dust and humidity. What's more, our units are relatively light and ergonomic, so you can transport them from one site to another with minimum effort.

Depending on the model you choose, our transformers offer a number of totally safe and efficient sockets. Our 2,500 VA 230V/24V transformer, for example, offers 6 CEE 16A 2P 24V sockets. But if your power requirements are more modest, opt instead for the 1,000 VA 230/24V model, which offers 4 sockets. Lighter in weight, this transformer lighter, this transformer also features a 3 m cable, allowing you to benefit from power supply on your worksite without any loss of voltage. Finally, all our transformers come with primary and secondary circuit breakers to guarantee the safety of your workers in all circumstances.
