AUDIO CONSULTING'S MAINS TRANSFORMER 

Audio Consulting's Mains Transformer	Product Code: AC_TFR_M160_M Price: Check Latest The mains isolation transformer can be used in one of two ways. As a 1/1 isolation transformer or To create a new 115VAC line from a 230VAC line formed by two phases of the mains. That special way of using your mains avoids a lot of major sound deteriorations that are only due to the mains. The usual HF and RF filters do not help here, and in top of that, reduce dynamics. Features 1500VA 230/115VAC isolation transformer Center tapped 115VAC secondary voltages. The center tap allows for a new truly balanced mains. High quality copper windings Allows for a floating mains on the secondary: this means sonic advantages and safety Electrostatic screen Very low magnetic flux density for optimal power transfer M6X, 0.35mm grain oriented silicon steel that is normally only used for OPT's Very low loss "M" shaped iron that is produced in Switzerland Steatite connectors for optimum sound Transformer is tested at 2500VAC prim/sec for safety reasons Dimensions: 6 1/4" x 7" x 8 5/8" (w x l x h) Weight: 47lbs Sonic benefits Better micro and macro dynamics Less aggressive more relaxed sound More resolution Reveals more emotional content Setup instructions Picture of transformer tabs Tabs: 57.5, 0(center tap or CT), 57.5, 230VAC, 115VAC, -5%, 0(P0), +5% As a 1/1 Standard isolation transformer Use 0 and 115 VAC tab of this isolation transformer to connect your mains. If mains is too high or too low in voltage, you may adjust by using +5% or -5% tabs instead of 0 VAC tab Use 57.5 and 57.5 VAC tabs on the secondary to connect your audio system to achieve 115 VAC mains on the secondary. Connect CT to ground if you want to have a fully balanced mains. Do not connect CT to ground if you want your new mains to be floating. The latter way of using the transformer also allows for improved safety over normal use of the mains from the wall. If you wish, you may connect your transformer iron to the ground by using the special screw on its top. The electrostatic screen is connected to the iron body of the transformer during construction. As a 230/115 VAC isolation transformer using two phases Those 2 phases are out of phase by 180 degrees and that is why you measure 230 VAC between the two of them. That way of using the isolation transformer allows you to avoid the 0 connecter in your wall and which is the neutral connector of your power company's utility transformer Use 0 and 230 VAC tab of this isolation transformer to connect your mains. If mains is too high or too low in voltage, you may adjust by using +5% or -5% tabs instead of 0 VAC tab Use 57.5 and 57.5 VAC tabs on the secondary to connect your audio system to achieve a 115 VAC mains on the secondary. Connect CT to ground if you want to have a fully balanced mains. Do not connect CT to ground if you want your new mains to be floating. The latter way of using the transformer also allows for improved safety over normal use of the mains from the wall. If you wish, you may connect your transformer iron to the ground by using the special screw on its top. The electrostatic screen is connected to the iron body of the transformer during construction.
