Ericson Transformers
Ericson transformers are designed for dependable and secure power distribution. This is especially important in places like factories and construction sites, where power demands can be erratic and might stress the system. Ericson's low-voltage transformers ensure that power is converted efficiently while staying within safety parameters. Each unit is constructed of non-conductive engineering resin, so they're safe in any environment—especially one that might challenge their physical integrity. And each circuit is equipped with a breaker, so if the transformer has to work harder and produce more heat, it can do so safely.
Ericson transformers are versatile and can be used in various scenarios because the specific power requirement of the application can be met by adjusting the secondary voltage. They come with a main circuit breaker that supplies additional protection. When a fault occurs, it cuts off the power, which protects the devices connected to the transformer. They are well suited for areas where low voltage, safety, and power efficiency are priorities because they handle low voltage distribution and are capable of supplying power at the efficiency level found in safety net applications.

Transformer Basics: What is a Transformer?
Transformers take one type of voltage and convert it to a different kind of voltage. The amount of energy being used stays the same. When voltage is increased or decreased by a transformer, the amount of energy is not increasing or decreasing, it is simply changing the way the energy is being used. Ohms law (V=IR) shows that the current will change proportionally to the voltage. Therefore when voltage increases, amperage decreases. When voltage decreases, amperage increases. A transformer can take any type of AC voltage and change that voltage either up or down. For example, power companies use transformers to change the voltage from a very high, dangerous voltage down to a level that can be safely used in homes. In industrial applications, transformers step down voltage from 480VAC to 120VAC to use in control circuits.
