Different transformers have to be installed depending on the voltage. With 208V mains in the USA, 230V in many European countries and even 500V in parts of Africa, that’s a lot of different requirements. This large number of variations increases inventory costs, complicates ordering processes and requires elaborate documentation.

The Murrelektronik transformers with multi-voltage input provide a solution to this problem. The transformers feature a flexible selection of input voltages and can be adapted to the different mains voltages by simple bridging.

The obvious advantage is that the same transformer can be used for any machine, worldwide. A total of eleven different input voltages from 208 to 550V may be pre-configured. The transformers are also available with two 115V windings, which, when connected in series, provide 230V.

The bridging set that adapts the transformers for different mains voltages is included as standard.

The transformers are available for nominal power rating from 25VA to 5,000VA and have cURus, Germanischer Lloyd and GOST approvals.
